alexmurray, thanks for the instructions.
I posted a patch (+ the deb package) for bcm5974-dkms to make click-and-drag work with Macbook 5,1:

I posted an improved version of the patch (+ the deb package) for bcm5974-dkms to make click-and-drag work with Macbook 5,1:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/mact...rt/+bug/356317
It does *not* make the bottom part of the touchpad a dead zone and does *not* disable two-finger-clicking, and it should resemble the behavior of OS X.
Please test the new patch or the package and let me know if you see any problems with it.
I'm running Ubuntu here on my Macbook Pro 5,1 15.4".
Installed the debian package and tried it. Click and drag works fine except for one thing:
I use my thumb to click and my index to drag. If my index finger is not the first finger to touch the trackpad, it will not click and drag.
Additionally, it doesn't seem to be able to even move unless the first finger to touch the trackpad is the one doing the movement. This is a bit awkward considering my thumb is usually the only finger that remains touching the keypad at all times.
I can't seem to get any of this working. I installed the bcm-5972 dmks and none of my trackpad features work except left clicking and moving the mouse. I also can't get the bluetooth working with my wireless might mouse. I am running ubuntu 9.04 and have a unibody macbook. Can someone please guide me through the process of getting my trackpad to work and also my bluetooth connection.
Cornelius 2, I installed the deb package, now what do I do with the patch?
touchdownjesus, have you followed the configuration instructions on the documentation for your Mac?
