ELAN and FocalTech (Smart Touchpad) driver Issues

matosiu · February 2, 2015

This is awesome! Everything works almost like on a real macbook Thank you so much for this.

I only have one issue, the touchpad stops working sometimes for no reason, I have not identified what triggers it yet, but it's random and always probably after a few hours of usage.

I don't know exactly what I need too upload cause I'm new here but here's the moment when it happened from the system.log if that's what needed. I have the v4 hardware and the v4.0.5 kext. Running stock mavericks 10.9.

Tell me if you need any other info please.

Alright so to follow up it happened again. Both instances were the same, exactly at the same time when I pressed ESC to leave youtube fullscreen mode, the trackpad disconnected. I guess i'm just not going to watch full screen youtube and see if anything else triggers the issue

First thank you very much for your hard work on this driver.

My touchpad movement works but the clicking and tapping is not usable. First tapping gestures don't work at all. The hard buttons seem to be swapped left=right and right=left also when my mouse pointer is over an icon double clicking to open it sometimes works some times dose not and is not seem to be affected but the double click speed setting apart from the faster I set it up 50% the more chance it has of working. Some time if I tape on a empty part of the desktop then the click works.

So for the time being I use a USB mouse but this is not the ideal.

If you need more information please let me know.

I'm just trying this driver for the first time on my Samsung RV520 with 10.10.2, Clover bootloader. I'm using the new 4.2 version, ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext.

My problem is "Unexpected magic knock result 0x00, 0x00, 0x00." Here's the full log (all the kernel messages up to "DSMOS has arrived" - let me know if I've omitted anything important).

The last line of the X log from Linux, about duplicates, got me thinking that maybe one of EPAD or SPAD needed to be removed from the DSDT. I tried both, but to no effect. In fact, removing EPAD made my keyboard not work. There was no change in the kernel log.

Finally, I've attached the ioreg files - one with this driver loaded, and one with regular VoodooPS2. Thanks!!

First thank you very much for your hard work on this driver.

My touchpad movement works but the clicking and tapping is not usable. First tapping gestures don't work at all. The hard buttons seem to be swapped left=right and right=left also when my mouse pointer is over an icon double clicking to open it sometimes works some times dose not and is not seem to be affected but the double click speed setting apart from the faster I set it up 50% the more chance it has of working. Some time if I tape on a empty part of the desktop then the click works.

So for the time being I use a USB mouse but this is not the ideal.

Hi folks,

first of all: THANK YOU for the excellent driver. It works quite well on my Lenovo U330p (no touch) with an ELAN touchpad. Tapping is only recognized in about 60 % of all cases (I have to tap really hard until it get's it) but that is NOT the matter of my posting:

===== I have problems with my F1-F12 shortcut keys ===========

Previously I was using the VoodooPS2Controller kext from Rehabman (see his guide here). With his kext I've been able to use the Shortcuts as expected.

Anyway, with the ELAN driver the keyboard works, but not the hotkeys. The BIOS has a "Hotkey Mode", which doesn't change the keycodes of course. Only the behaviour of having to press FN+F1 or only F1 for the hotkey.

Right now only F1, F2, F3, F5, F11 and F12 work as hotkeys for (mute, Vol-, Vol+, refresh, ShowDesk and Widgets).

I'd LOVE TO GET BRIGHTNESS somewhere (preferredly on F11 down and F12 up). Can somebody help me? I'm totally lost in the keyboard plist. KARABINER didn't to any good thing for me. Maybe because it is for real macs...

PM me for beta test.

I can't send you a PM. The forum just gives me an error message. It's weird!

b0wtie · February 22, 2015

Just wanted to let you know that I kind of succeeded.

I turned OFF the BIOS's Hotkey Mode. This way I've been able to modify the behaviour of the Fn-Keys wighout having to mess with the scancodes in the deeper levels of the driver. It is relatively easy to put Vol+ to F2 and Vol- to F3 then.

=====

The U330p's original brightness hotkey is not recognized by the driver. With debug mode on it doesn't even show a keypress in the system.log

Rehabman's version of the VoodooPS2Controller does, however. This is the output:

Feb 22 07:10:09 MacBookAir kernel[0]: ApplePS2Keyboard::message: type=e0028010, provider=0xffffff801aff3200, argument=0xffffff80a99f3eac, argument=026c, cmp=e0028010

Feb 22 07:10:15 MacBookAir kernel[0]: ApplePS2Keyboard: sending key e06b=e0fb, e0fb=91 down

My best guess is that the original hotkeys are encoded as 026c (OR 02ec???) and 026b (OR 02eb???) and that Rehabman has remapped them to the original brightness+ and brightness- values e0fc and e0fb.

Is that correct? Is something like that possible in the ApplePS2Keyboard.kext of this thread?

Hello,

the driver won't work for me. It's an Asus TP300LA, and I THINK it's a FocalTech touchpad, since people say "it's Asus' new touchpad" (which doesn't work with Linux either btw). However, I tried this driver and it didn't recognise the touchpad.

Thanks!
