#5 Not working in 10.3.8

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

just installed the latest software update and ucontrol no longer
works. Tried re-installing and it tells me it won't work on this
version of the OS.

Cheers,

Justin.

I had the same experience, but I knew what to expect, since MacInTouch
has already reported on this issue. I am forced to update, for security
reasons. Still, I wish I hadn't been forced to do it, because now my lefty
mouse is back to being a righty mouse. :(

I upgraded to 10.3.8 today, however I was able to get ucontrol working
again by doing the following. (This info was copied from
www.versiontracker.com) If you need help, feel free to send an email to
tylerhall -*AT*- mac.com.

1. Open Terminal (leave it open until you restart your computer)

2. In Terminal type (one line at a time):

rm ~/Library/Preferences/org.gnufoo.kext.uControl.plist
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir ucontrolfix
cd ucontrolfix
curl -O http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol/ucontrol1.4.4.tgz
tar zxvf ucontrol1.4.4.tgz
cd ucontrol1.4.4/src
open -a textedit.app kext/ODHIDHack.cpp

3. The last line in Terminal should open a file in TextEdit. Now find this
line:

IOHIDSystem::instance()->scrollWheelEventGated(scrollY, scrollX, 0, ts,
NULL);

and replace it with this:

IOHIDSystem::instance()->scrollWheelEvent(scrollY, scrollX, 0, ts);

4. Save the file and close TextEdit

5. In Terminal type (one line at a time):
make
sudo make install

6. Restart your computer.

Thanks for the tip, it worked. I did have to make more than once to get a
successful build. No problem.
