evy0311 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 After trying the older version in clover/kexts/other and in L/E it doesn't seem to be working for me, not recognizing the touchpad in settings or anything, but I remember the latest version worked (just with the glitching issues). Did I do something wrong when installing the kext? Here is my latest debug dump after installing the version you sent me into L/E and rebuilding cache. debug_32090.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2019 All looks fine. Have you rebooted a few times? If it still doesn't work, then go back to the latest version. Your I2C touchpad might be an Alps and it's not fully supported, it'll just be working as a generic mouse. You'll probably need to get support from the developer to make it more stable.

evy0311 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Okay, that is fine. How can i tell whether or not my touchpad is an alps? Is there a way inside macOS to test it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2019 I did a search of your model and it shows as Alps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evy0311 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Okay, good info. For some reason though with the I2C kexts the gestures and all work, but again it is glitchy. Is it possible to make an Alps work with gestures since they were slightly working? Or would the kext need to be modified? Also, which kext should i use for alps?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2019 There's no I2C Alps kext in existence, that's why you're using the satellite kext VoodooI2CHID with VoodooI2C. There is one of Elanteck and Synaptics but not Alps. https://github.com/alexandred/VoodooI2C/releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2019 Looks like someone already have the same system hacked even though it shows Precision, don't think there's a Precision 5591 https://github.com/n0faith/Dell-Precision-5591-Hackintosh Try his files and see if it makes a difference.

evy0311 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 So trying the files from that GitHub repo, it doesn't seem to be working still. I then installed the Refined ALPS TouchPad driver from this site, and it seems to be working the same as the I2C driver is. I don't necessarily need the whole gesture options or anything like that, but is it possible to get this going as just a normal touchpad that behaves like a mouse? Also, is it possible to buy a different touchpad for this and swap it out that would work like normal? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 10, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 10, 2019 The Refined Alps kext is for PS2 touchpad, not I2C. Installing it only enables the keyboard. Looks like you'll just have to use an external mouse like Hervé is with this touchpad. You could google / research to see if a synaptics precision touchpad fits your system like the one on the Precision 5510. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evy0311 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Jake, I got it to work! I used the entire config and all files from the repo you sent me and the touchpad works flawlessly (with gestures and all!). Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
