Refined ALPS TouchPad driver


Dr. Hurt

Recommended Posts

I have an E5550 which I believe has ALPS v6 and I've tried both the latest Release 5 and Release 5.1 Beta on page 34.  Here are my results:

 

Release 5: touchpad is recognized as trackpad in system settings but no 2,3,4 finger gestures are recognized.  I get this error when opening Touchpad Settings app:

Can’t get «class sgrp» 2 of window "Trackpad" of «class pcap» "System Preferences" of application "System Events". Invalid index.
System Events got an error: Can’t get group 2 of window "Trackpad" of application process "System Preferences". Invalid index. (-1719)
 

 

Release 5.1 Beta: touchpad is recognized as mouse and two-finger vertical scrolling is only supported gesture.  I get this error when opening Touchpad Settings app:

Can’t get «class sgrp» 1 of window "Trackpad" of «class pcap» "System Preferences" of application "System Events". Invalid index.
System Events got an error: Can’t get group 1 of window "Trackpad" of application process "System Preferences". Invalid index. (-1719)

 

 

The Trackpad Settings app has Accessibility permissions and has executable permissions as well.  Any thoughts?

Hi there.

 

I'm trying to make my ALPS v7 to work but can't even get trackpad movement.

 

Already installed VoodooPS2Controller.kext on S/L/E -- or -- placing it on Clover/Kext/10.12 (and "Other").

 

Never tried other methods before, so it seems there are no older trackpad related patched kexts on S/L/E. (Can someone tell me what to looking for on that cleaning/reseting?)

 

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks.

Use  ALPS V7 test.zip from post 331... 

Remove any installed kext, put this one in Clover.

Installed attached kext on Clover. First boot gave me a KP.

 

Trackpad (AUI1714 on Win) still doesn't work at all (no trackpad installed on system prefs).

 

Keyboard audio volume special keys work again, COMMAND and ALT keys are swapped and CapsLock has an intermittent behavior.
