Unfortunately, since updating to 10.3.8, I've been seeing trackpad/mouse pointer freezes on my PB G4!! Generally while running iChat. Very annoying!!! Fortunately there is a workaround - put it to sleep and wake it up - but this really should not be happening!!!

Ugh. 10.3.9 anyone??

Pfft... no problems with the one I tried.

Dumb Apple, "fixed" something when it wasn't broken. Now the usually Rolls Royce Powerbook quality has more of the feel of a $599 (Plus Rebates) Packard Bell Machine. I hope Steve Jobs is not so egotistical to drop Synaptics on the iPod to make his "in house" solution line as rumor has it. A similar event with the iPod could really hurt Apple's margins. Stevie ought to remember the Mac OS lesson of the 1980's, its really only a short walk from the clubhouse to the outhouse.

I never had any problems with my 17" G4 Pwoerbook 1.04 GHz and upgraded to the newest 17" G4 Powerbook 1.67 GHz and the trackpad is so flakey. I have to out my entire palm over it almost every 15 minutes. There has to be a better fix! I am very frustrated and unhappy with Apple about their 'solution'. This is an expensive computer and should work accordingly. I have given up using the two finger scrolling feature as the trackpad hangs up so often. I am seriously gonna get a mouse and forget the trackpad but want Apple to know that this marks a sad day for them in my eyes!

Intermittantly my trackpad has been working erratically. It will abruptly stop working and not be ablt to click. I've had to work around it with an external mouse. Does it take a long time to get it fixed? Would I need a new trackpad and clicker?

Same prob with 10.3.9 and it may start when ichat in operation but i've seen problems when safari has a bunch of tabs open too. Could this be a low memory or some other issue that isnt hardware realted?
