Dr Hurt, Release 4 RC2 is nearly perfect on my E6440 with Rushmore V3.  8-)

 

Trackstick working nearly Ok, yeah! Just one "little" issue which, I'm sure, will be easy to fix: pushing the tracktstick up moves the pointer down on screen and vice-versa. Other than that, everything is great, including speed.

 

Thank you so much for your brilliant work.

Dr Hurt, we got a winner with RC3. Congratulations! :-P

 

At the risk of being a pain in the backside (but it's probably due to my lack of practice), the trackstick might be a little bit too quick now that it works Ok. Which speed is it set at? If I lower the tracking speed in the PrefPane, I can use the trackstick much better...

 

Sorry, sorry, sorry.  :oops:

I'm glad to help you debug that kext.

 

Try RC4. If it still doesn't work, I'll make a special debug version for you to see where exactly it's failing.

I'm glad I could help out  :)

 

Release 4 RC4:

- Reduce trackstick speed to half. (now divides raw speed by 4 instead of 2)

- Clean up V5 Dolphin init code.

 

PS. Trackstick code needs a massive cleanup but I'll postpone that to a future release. I don't wanna break anything else now!!

Dr.hurt. it didn't work.

 

Strange!! The V5 code looks fine and logical to me.

I'll make a debug version for you tonight to see where it's failing.

 

Do the buttons work? Scrolling (2 or 1 finger?)

Did you ever have multitouch with it on OS X?

 

EDIT: Searched for your device-id and found that its a newer Dolphin. (Apparently there is Dolphon v1 and v2)

It needs a different init sequence. Will see what I can do about it.
