Refined ALPS TouchPad driver

[Dr. Hurt]

What are you using for battery status?

ACPIBatteryManager.kext is the best.

It may require a DSDT patch to work reliably though.

 

Make sure you don't have any other kexts such as voodoobattery.kext

 

I just can't think of a correlation between the two issues!!!

I'm using Rehabman's ACPIBatteryManager.kext 1.55, only 8-bit fields in the EC (dsdt)

No issues with the old driver

Check kext battery 1.55 with DSDT

I just cannot think of a reason why that is happening. Could you provide an ioreg from your system while the problem is happening?

I wanna see if the Battery driver is properly loaded.

dsdt.zip

 

He can only use that if he has the exact same hardware or else the system probably won't boot and the kernel could panic.

 

PS. What do you think of R4?

[Gia Cát Lang]

i'm think R4 very good and i don't encounter problems disable after sleep 

 

Thank Dr.Hurt

i have think why not smart keyboard as with elan touchpad 

 

i have edit DSDT in device (PS2K)

Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)  // _DSM: Device-Specific Method
                    {
                        If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
                        {
                            Return (Buffer (One)
                            {
                                 0x03
                            })
                        }
 
                        Return (Package (0x04)
                        {
                            "RM,oem-id", 
                            "DELL", 
                            "RM,oem-table-id", 
                            "SNB-CPT"
                        })
                    }
               

and result 

 

Brightness = F4 , F5 

Disable Touchpad = F3

Audio = F11 and F12

I'm using this to load the N5110 profile for the multimedia keys and breakless info:

Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)            {
                If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
                {
                    Return (Buffer (One)
                    {
                        0x03
                    })
                }


                Return (Package (0x04)
                {
                    "RM,oem-id", 
                    "DELL", 
                    "RM,oem-table-id", 
                    "WN09"
                })
            }

i have try

[Dr. Hurt]

I added a filter to the bitmap processing to make finger number reporting more accurate. The result is more stable 2-finger tap and surprisingly, interia is much smoother!! 

I'll send the patch to Linux devs to review and possibly add to mainstream.

 

@Jake Lo:

Do you have any lag with inertia on Rushmore systems? Pointer jump on 2-finger tap?

I wanna know if this patch is universally useful or just for regular V3.

 

Will upload changes in R4RC2 later.
