Refined ALPS TouchPad driver

[Piranha]

dinesh's driver is for pretty much all other trackpad other then alps so if it worked for you it most likely is not alps.

Yes, Dinesh's will work on almost any system in enhanced mouse mode only. It's a lot better than just the basic mouse functions you get with say VoodooPS2contoller.kext at least on my system. The touchpad prefpane will load as well. You just don't get any multitouch.

My IOreg is posted in an earlier post and it shows the ID as ALP000B. I've discussed this with others including Rehabman. He verified it as an ALPS. He did mention he might be getting an ALPS laptop, but he also said it may not be ps2 because newer systems are moving to I2C. 

 

 Side note: He also has updated his latest VoodooPS2contollers because some Synaptics didn't give ID's, something along those lines. Might be related ? He also added something new that corrected for the systems like I have. Something to do with the probook-87 id?

V8 test 6:

- V8 initialisation corrected. (Another major mistake. Sorry!!)

 

Only test this if you have V8 hardware. Nothing has changed for other models.

Dr. Hurt you're a genius ! He got my touchpad working ! I'm the happiest man alive right now.

 

Thank you!

V8 test 6:

- V8 initialisation corrected. (Another major mistake. Sorry!!)

 

Only test this if you have V8 hardware. Nothing has changed for other models.

Tested in my HP Presario 14-v065br (ALPS V8).

Still no trackpad movement, but soft-clicking the Apple logo recorded some trackpad activity on log, as follows.

 

dmesg says (among many other activities and sandbox violation process):

ALPS: Process V8: Fingers=0, x1=8160, y1=12, z=0, buttons=1

Look in your system/library/extension folder and see if you have the file AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext If so remove it and try again. Make sure you have only 1 copy voodooPs2controller.kext in there as well. In fact you shouldn't have anything in that folder that has to do with PS2 in it. Only the voodooPS2controller your trying.

 

If that fails:

There are a couple of places depending on your installer another version of voodoops2controller could be hiding. Check the library/extension folder and the "extra" folder if there is one and EFI/clover/kext if there is one, depends if you used clover as your installer. Delete any other copies of VoodooPS2controller.kext if found in those locations.

What do you mean by soft clicking the Apple logo?

 

Also, try moving the your finger on the touchpad (lightly and firmly), try 2, 3, 4 fingers, buttons... Tell me if the log messages change.

Log message does change like there's activity, but both trackstick/touchpad does not respond. Neither does the mouse buttons.

I checked all of those folders for AppleACPIPS2Nub and extra voodooPS2controller but found nothing.  However KextWizard shows the following when i search for PS2 on the Loaded tab:

 

com.apple.AppleACPIPS2Nub                                    1              

com.apple.ApplePS2Controller                                 1                                                                                                                                

com.apple.ApplePS2Keyboard                                   1                                                                                                                                

com.apple.ApplePS2Mouse                                      1                                                                                                                                

org.rehabman.voodoo.driver.PS2Controller                     5.0.0        /System/Library/Extensions/VoodooPS2Controller.kext                                                                 

 

There is no file reference for the other kexts and searching and looking in the folders you mentioned turned up nothing.  Should I rebuild my System Kext Cache?

Go back into KextWizard  filter "PS2" Highlight  com.AppleACPIPS@Nub  inside the loaded tab.

 

Then at the bottom where it says "found" "5" click the little down arrow. It will open up a menu.   Click on reveal.. It should open the folder where its hiding. Try all of them to see if your missing something.  To me it appears you still have ApplesPS2 kexts still installed. If not try rebuilding/ repair.      

 

 

The dmesg log you posted, something is loading another copy of  [email protected]  Apple has one that needs to be deleted when installing a ps2 driver.  Any other ps2 driver you install will have these inside them to emulate Apples. So it could be that another driver is causing a duplicate to load as well.

 

Also my understanding is to remove any existing "ApplePS2Controller, VoodooPS2Controller, AppleACPIPS2Nub, ApplePS2Keyboard and old Touchpad" kexts if you've installed one in the past, before installing the new one.
