gelomon Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I am having a problematic right click. I have been using the bootpack from @Jake Lo and was running smoothly with Monterey. This is my only problem. Right click on the button does not work, right click with 2 fingers work but buggy (repetitive clicks back and forth). Scrolling also triggers right click. Also the touchpad was not recognized as touchpad What I have tried: VoodooPS2Controller & VoodooPS2Controller-ALPS on bootpack - buggy right click, seems like right click and 2 finger scroll is mixed. when scrolling is disabled, I can trigger right click with 3 consecutive touchpad clicks VoodooPS2Controller (Latest from acid) - Not working Touchpad is working smoothly without issue on windows 11 (22H2) I attached the sample screen recording of what's happening. I also attached the IOReg if that will help. My hack details: e7440 i5 12GB RAM Alps v3 (as per boot logs but I'm not really sure) Bios: A28 Monterey 12.6 Regards, John Screen Recording 2022-11-25 at 9.42.53 AM.mov.zip John’s MacBook Pro.ioreg.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelomon Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 I will mark this issue now as solved. I have compiled the VoodoPS2 from source of Acidanthera putting back some codes that were removed and added some fixes for v3_v5 inputs. Now my touchpad is working great and is usable upto 3 fingers. No back scrolling, no Jittering, no Jumping. Only problem was the right click on the right button, it is not working but the 2 finger tap is working but not that responsive even the other 2 finger taps were removed. This is solved by disabling 2finger tap on preferences and I used better touchtool to set 2 finger tap as right click and it works fantastic.

gelomon Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Attaching the my compiled version of VoodooPS2. I have Identified my Trackpad is V3 Rushmore variant Note: VoodooPS2Mouse plugin was removed (I'm not using this). Planning to update this on future to disable trackstick & upper mouse buttons (used for trackstick) VoodooPS2Controller.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 3, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 3, 2022 Why would you want to disable the trackstick and mouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelomon Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) I type alot ( I work as a dev and I type alot). I always accidentally move the mouse which is annoying. Typing timeout does not apply to trackstick, it works even when I'm typing. lol USB Mouse is working fine without any issues even without VoodooPS2Mouse Kext on my laptop Edited December 3, 2022 by gelomon grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelomon Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 I would also like to test if disabling trackstick (nibble) will bring more stability (less monitored device, less input expected, less processing) but this is only assumptions. If you happen to test the kext above, any feedback would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 6, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2022 Just got around to using it. My E7440 is also V3 Rushmore. Touchpad works pretty well Swiping and zooming works Right click also work without any modification Slow scrolling is a bit jittery if you don't pick your fingers off the touchpad. Issue I have is that I do use the track stick a lot more than I would the touchpad With this version, scrolling with the middle mouse doesn't work I can't highlight with the left mouse of the track stick. Right click also works on the track stick. If you could add those 2 feature, that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelomon Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 I would try to implement this if I got free time, but the main problem is I might have a faulty touchpad on my e7440 to begin with. My trackstick left / right /middle is not working just the trackstick itself. my right button on trackpad does not also work. smh If there will be any progress or development on the future, I will surely let you know Scrolling slowly is due to finger detection. yup a bit jittery lol You can also try the original version from acidanthera if there are any difference you can experience. I just made the changes I done (maybe to cope up with faulty touchpad) but If you report that it's much better that Acid's version then I might request a PR on the repo for the Rushmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 7, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2022 acidanthera's kext has portings from skyrilHD's code to support Alps. I didn't know it supports v3 Rushmore since I've never tested it on the E7440. So it's works almost the same as yours. No scrolling with the middle mouse with the trackstick. The left mouse can click but can't drag, same as yours. But if I use the trackstick left mouse, I could drag it with the touchpad, just not with the trackstick. Also can't highlight text.
