Jazzoo Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 @juico @blankmac Just gave your new Alps kext a try on my 7490. Touchpad is working. Still no luck with the buttons. Also found something interesting. If I place my finger on the touchpad and then hit the button it works! Both buttons working for left click if I place one finger and right click when place two fingers.. I think we are close to succeed on the touchpad buttons soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorys89 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 @juico excellent result, but still to fix something. @Jazzoo send a log dmesg for AlpsHID and ioreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juico Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 @jazzoo Sound like some issue we had before but we fixed it. Can you maybe send the ioreg or perhaps join on https://gitter.im/AlpsT4USB-TEST-Room/community ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzoo Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Boom! Buttons and touchpad perfectly working with the test version. Amazing job guys! Here it is AlpsHID_PTP_test.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinDell Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Does perfectly working mean pinch to zoom work as well? I badly need this feature :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzoo Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Pinch zoom works only horizontal on my 7490. Still a huge progress since last few months thanks to the people in the forum @juico , @Lorys89 , @Jake Lo , @Hervé and many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinDell Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Indeed it's a huge progess. I think I will be back to Latitude 7490. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisk Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Just tried the AlpsHID_PTP_test on my Lat E7280 running Catalina 10.15.7 with latest sec updates, etc. TrackPad buttons are still dead for me unless I am in contact with the trackpad The TrackPad, itself seems nice and smooth, I don't do too many finger acrobatics tho'. I have been trying the 1.2 git version and had no better luck with that so stopped by here for a visit. So the TrackPad buttons are functioning properly, i.e. like a mouse, for some of you ? Is the 1.2 git version more evolved than the test version above ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzoo Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 I tried Mojave and Catalina on my 7490 and the buttons didn't work for me. It's working only Big Sur or newer. Maybe @juico , @blankmac can help to solve this OS compatibility problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisk Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Huh, ok thanks for that. I will be probably updating in the next few days. Interestingly enough, I get good, normal trackpad button response by rolling back to the previous AlpsT4USB.kext v1.5. Left button works perfectly w/o the need to be in contact with the trackpad and right button is usually ok too but not 100%. Maybe this kext is not so popular because of limited gestures ? I dunno, and don't care as all that I really use is 2 finger scrolling. I'll go back to the AlpsHID.kext if trackpad button functionality returns with Big Sur and/or AlpsT4USB.kext stops functioning. But, otherwise, dead trackpad buttons is a real deal killer for me so I'll keep cruising with the older version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
