Bug Description
I have booted the Jaunty LiveCD on my MacBook rev 5.1. While moving the mousepointer with the touchpad works, and (left-) clicking works, they can't be used in combination (press touchpad down with one finger, move pointer around with other fingers). This means drag and drop can't be used, windows can't be moved, and scrollbars in windows can't be moved.
Sorry I have not yet tried to go through all the manual configuration options in the MacBook guide. I tried to install some of the special packages mentioned there, but they were not being found. I assume it only works with an installation, not with the LiveCD.
