[ydl-gen] Trackpad Problems: YDL 4.0.? installer on PowerBook 5, 6

I don't know about a release for YDL 4.1; but a few months ago Owen 
posted the following to this list:

Anyone have one and want to test a kernel for me? This will hopefully

Email me off list if you're interested, you'll get my love and
admiration.

Thanks,
Owen

You could query Owen regarding what volunteering to test the kernel....

Best wishes....
