Administrators Syonagar Posted December 20, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 20, 2020 Check in your System Preferences under Trackpad and see if gestures are enabled. Basic 2 fingers gesture should be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jantestmac Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Oh most gesture are working in your config But the problem is that when I close the lid for sometime(Sleep) the trackpad stops working. Right now this is the problem gestures are working but touchpad stops after sleep for long time. To solve that I tried using ApplePS2Controller and in that gestures are not working so I tried to go Under System Preferences > Trackpad but there it shows no touchpad detected(Also I found this solution on other post there Jake suggested to use that) so I tried.

jantestmac Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 So I tried finding but could not find anything for this trackpad issue I think It will persist if anyone has solved it please provide possible solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 22, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2020 Try this, replace Config and add the 2 kexts to /kexts folder 5568_touchapd.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jantestmac Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 So I was testing laptop for last couple of days and haven't tried those kexts cause I simply restarted whenever the touchpad stopped let me try them now thank you for that. however after using this laptop for a few days in Big Sur now I am quite sure that I am not getting more than 3 hour of battery life. Windows was much better is there anyway I can improve the battery life?? Cause there should be something which is draining battery as I have only used laptop to watch a few lectures so there isn't any load whatsoever. And I am quite certain I used to get almost double or more in windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 25, 2020 You can't compare windows and Mac, it's like Apples and Oranges, no pun intended. You can try guide here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jantestmac Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Lol I agree about comparing. It was just to give the idea though also I went through the guide and as they suggested power management is working (it looks life the left image provided there). I even used CPUFriend with low frequencies but no help Any solution other than that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jantestmac Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 So I was googling about the poor battery life issue and one weird question pop into my mind I know it's very noob question but I thought why not ask it anyways. So I was thinking whether using SMCBatteryManagers and Using ACPIBatteryManager from rehabman make any difference in battery life or it's just for the battery status ? PS: I got this question as I was wondering what if the battery status which I can see is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 29, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2020 Go ahead and switch them and see but I doubt it. It's just for showing the status but never know until you try. I don't have this hardware so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
