ELAN, FocalTech and Synaptics (Smart Touchpad) Driver

Hello, today I updated my El Capitan to Sierra, and some features of ELAN touchpad dont work. For example - 5-finger pinch doesn't work, and 2-finger tap now works as middle mouse button, not as it used to work before. Also trackpad prefpane does not work, I even tried to reinstall latest ApplePS2SmartTouchpad.kext with Kext Utility and also I tried to replace prefpane from El Capitan. But still no changes, after 3 tries.

To get a working touchpad prefpane,

look at step 33-34 on this site:

http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/thinkpad-x220-macos-sierra-installation/

 

Works here with 10.12 (16A323)

 

Cheers :-)

 

 

PS:

@Dinesh

Im still using v4.2, because since then, the driver got worse & more worse...

4.2 is still perfect (scrolling) and bug free.

 

I dont know, but the driver gots to big and have to much code in it...

 

If you want and have time in the future, we can get together, like long time ago and improve it :-)

Yust would be much better in my opinion to rewrite it and remove as much possible code as you can, to get it small and clean again :-)

 

Cheers :-)

Hello, I have a HP DM4 2075BR with the touchpad ALPS, I have tested all kinds of kext and they all do not work multitouch, the strange thing is that any one that I place works, but without multitouch !! post I tested all 2: Smatchtouch, EllanTouchpad !! the touchpad always work, but never with multitouch!
Someone can help-me?
I have sierra!
