aulbaer Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hello Dr. Hurt, i tried Dolphin a4. The way of installation: I changed the contents folder from installed Dolphin a3 to the contents folder of the attached Dolphin a4, rebuild caches and permissions. After that, the machine boots, but after a while, it crashes with Kernel Panic. I think crashing was every time after testing 2-finger scrolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Don't do that. Delete the old kext and install the new one (without touching its contents). Or even better, put the kext in the clover kext folder. Does the pointer move well? (1 finger doesn't cause crash?).Try to find out exactly what causes the panic. In terminal app, type "sudo dmesg" and search for alps "get area". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulbaer Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hello Dr. Hurt, in the attachment was only the contents folder, NOT the COMPLETE kext, so I didn`t know how to install it. ?? I put the kexts in the clover kext folder "10.11" and "other". Today i am not at home, so I can test it not before tomorrow evening. Then I will get the needed informations in the terminal app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Strange. I downloaded the attachment and it unpacks into the whole kext. Never mind though. Put the kext in "other" folder only if you're using Sierra. Here's Dolphin a5:- Fixed typo that could have been responsible for the kernel panic Dolphin a5.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfiatos Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Dr Hurt, what settings are responsible for 1st phase of scrolling? Sometimes its super smooth and sometimes choppy without inertia. 10.11.6 with rushmore v3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulbaer Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hello Dr. Hurt, I installed Dolphin a5 in the clover kext folder. 1 finger moves the cursor smooth, but every time when i want to scroll with 2 fingers, it causes Kerrnel Panic. The Dmesg for ALPS reports: ALPS: GET AREA: x_bits=8, y_bits=1, x_max=448, y_max=0 ALPS: Found a V5 Dolphin touchpad with ID: E7=0x73 0x03 0x50, EC=0x73 0x02 0x02 ALPS: ENTERING alps_dolphin_get_device_area ALPS: GET AREA: x_bits=8, y_bits=1, x_max=448, y_max=0 ALPS: Touchpad driver started ALPS: alps_hw_init_dolphin_v2 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 ALPS: alps_request_v5 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 ALPS: ENTERING alps_short_cmd_v5 I don`t know if it`s important, I saw in the dmesg-report some Sandbox violations, are the Kernel Panics related to them??

Dr. Hurt Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 The sandbox violations are not caused by the driver. I have them too. The kernel panic is casued by the incorrect values obtained by the GET AREA function which causes the bitmap function to crash (that's what I think at least). Dolphin a6: - Hardcoded the touchpad area and disabled the GET AREA function. Forget about dmesg this time. Open the console app and see the ALPS messages that appear when you touch the pad with 2,, 3, 4 fingers. Dolphin a6.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Dr Hurt, what settings are responsible for 1st phase of scrolling? Sometimes its super smooth and sometimes choppy without inertia. 10.11.6 with rushmore v3 There is no such setting. Keep in mind that V3 is a semi multitouch device so it'll never be perfect with gestures, inertia,... (side scrolling with inertia works much better than 2-fingers). That aside, I'll add a hack to smoothen up 2-finger scrolling in Release 5 once I get feedback about the last Release 5 beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfiatos Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Dr Hurt, Is the last Release compatible with 10.11.3 (this version of os gives me best user experience)? Does release 4 work with 10.11.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Dr Hurt, Is the last Release compatible with 10.11.3 (this version of os gives me best user experience)? Does release 4 work with 10.11.3? I haven't tested but it's compiled to target 10.6-10.12 so, theoretically, it should work fine. 10.11 also doesn't have the preference and Fn keys problem of sierra.
