NP announced, that TrackIR5 with serial numbers in range 152000 - 152914 are potentially defective. Please see their forum for details.
Since the revision 445, the format of preferences slightly changed. If you used previous revisions before, start the current ltr_gui and use the Load defauls button to obtain new safe defaults. Discontinuing support for PowerPC and Mac OS X 10.5 and below
Due to the sudden death of my Mac Mini I had to go for a new machine, that is unable to run MacOS X 10.5 and older. That led me to a decision to drop support for PowerPC architecture, along with 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) support.
The last version of Linuxtrack, that supports the systems mentioned above will still be available for download (linuxtrack120328.dmg).
Should there be a need to recontinue the support, please file a bug and we can discuss the possible solutions.
