Recommended Posts

I've this version: V7 ID: E7=0x73 0x03 0x0a, EC=0x88 0xb3 0x22

 

How can i know what kext version i'm using it.

Because the i use work perfectly well, only missing CAPS.

The three fingers for mission control works perfectly well after setting the gesture on keyboard shortcuts :D

Finally tried the kext on the D630 (ALPS V2 ?)...

 

With R4, all seems Ok but one has to hardly touch the TrackPad to control the mouse; a little difficult to use.

With R5, no such requirement for an extremely light finger touch but UP and DOWN mouse movements are inverted. LEFT and RIGHT Ok. Trackstick not functional.

 

ALPS version could not be identified as shown in the log:

Versions R6Bx do not work at all on that model.

You just gave me an idea about a possible reason for why things are a bit different between my V3 and your V7 :D

 

My V3 Pinnacle is set to a sample rate of 40 while V3 Rushmore and V7 are set to 100.

 

R6B9:

- Set Sample Rate to 40 packets/sec on V7 and V3 Rushmore (not sure if HW will actually accept that command).

- Hopefully fix mistake from last release.

- Fix accidental input while typing. 

 

As always, test sleep and general performance.

Tested on Alps V7 for E5550 OS X 10.11:

 

No trackpad response, no trackpoint response, no keyboard response except for a few Fn key combinations like brightness.

 

After going into and resuming from sleep:

 

Full keyboard functionality returns, still no trackpad or trackpoint response.

Same issue for me in the latest beta.

With the help Piranha, we got Caps Lock working on older OS X and fixed sleep issue.

 

R6B10:

Sample Rate to 40 packets/sec on V7 and V3 Rushmore

- TouchPad works AFTER sleep (as tested by Piranha)

- Caps Lock works on Sierra AND older OS X (as tested by Piranha)

- Fix accidental touch while typing

 

Known Issues: 

- As usual, most settings in preference panes will not work.

- Scroll will be very fast on OS X versions before Sierra. Edit plist to fix

- V1 and V2 are not working.

- V7 and V8 tracksticks are disabled for now

 

What to test?

General usability, performance, sleep...

 

EDIT:

R10B10fixed fixes a typo that caused pointer lag

Hello,

 

I installed Sierra, and my trackpad is not working (very slow, no multitouch...) with basic Voodoo kext by rehabman.

 

I have the ALPS V8, with this ID : E7=0x73 0x03 0x50, EC=0x73 0x02 0x02.

 

I used this kext (http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3998-voodoops2controller-acer-aspire-v3-771/) on Yosemite and it worked great. But on Sierra, I have a kernel panic.

 

Can I merge something ? How to upgrade the kext ?

 

Thanks

Hi, Dr.hurt. Merry Christmas! I test this R6B10kext. It worked perfect after sleep and slide smoothly. And the multi-finger slide performed perfect. But the preference of the trackpad shows NO TRACKPAD FOUND, whichever I use the old pane or the new pane. :-P
