Emacs 23.1 on Mac OS X Trackpad does not work

Emacs 23.1 on Mac OS X Trackpad does not work

[n179911]

Hi,

I have installed Emacs 23.1 on Mac OSX.
I would like to know how to get the track pad of MacBook Pro to work?
I just want it to scroll up /down within emacs.

I have tried adding:
(require 'mwheel)
(mwheel-install)

to my .emacs.

But that does not help.

I appreciate if you can give me some help.

Thank you.

Thanks.  It turns out that when I start my emacs daemon, it does not
load my ~/.emacs
so (setq mouse-wheel-mode t) never get executed.

I tried add 'Emacs --daemon --user n17911' but that still does not
load my ~/.emacs

Can you please tell me how can I make (setq mouse-wheel-mode t)  in
emacs daemon?

try "emacs -q -l ~/.emacs --daemon"

You need to execute mouse-wheel-mode. See the documentation. The  
variable can only report which toggle state is active ar the moment.
