Refined ALPS TouchPad driver

[Dr. Hurt]

R6B7:

- Updated Interrupt to Linux again, added a hack to prevent desync. (Let's hope this fixes sleep craziness)

- Changed Keyboard type from Apple to Unknown. (for Bronxteck)

- Cleaned up base driver, moved essential settings to ALPS driver instead.

- V8 should work again (since it needs the new Interrupt).

 

This release should be quite stable as we approach final Release 6.

 

Test:

- Sleep

- V3 Rushmore users: sleep, lid closing and opening

- General usability and stability

Complete updating both hardware today 10.12.2. Both Elan and Alps work great. macOS Sierra 10.12.2 now, can say, perfects. Everything hackintoshable has been done. Too excited to finish the day. Good work Dr. Hurt!

Does the original prefpane works or have to load at startup?

the original prefpane works like a charm.

Driver report: V7 touchpad with ID: E7=0x73 0x03 0x0a, 

EC=0x88 0xb3 0x18 : EL Cap 10.11.6

 

The caps lock once pressed won't come out of caps unless I reboot, or change the keyboard caps lock modifier to something else. Everything else has got even better, like the pressure/sensitivity of the single tap needed to select an object, has greatly improved. Same with scrolling and not accidentally engaging other functions. Life is good! Thanks again..

 

Also the three fingers for mission control doesn't work.

The last version is working surprising well for me too

 

The Sierra Caps Lock fix breaks Caps Lock on older OS X. Will fix that in the final release.

 

As for mission control, go to "Preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > mission control" and reassign the shortcut (double click and perform gesture).

 

PS. I want as much feedback as I could get to move towards a final Release 6...

Hi, Dr.hurt. Could you update my touchpad driver? My touchpad version is the newer v3 (you must be impressed by it)and the only worked driver is your work. On the latest version, preference pane shows No trackpad found, but I can use two finger to slide the page and I can't  use tap by one finger. And the number lock maybe map the right arrow. 

 

Its information.

In correct key map.  Switch key (beside 1) is incorrect so you cannot use Command + § to switch between the instance of an application.

Powered scrolling, right button and gesturing with three fingers up and down. Others do not work. It seems there is a problem and coordinate the definition of the fingers, to call the right buttons need to spread apart the fingers, otherwise he considers them to be one. Sleep and caps work well.
V5 Dolphin TouchPad with ID: E7 = 0x73 0x03 0x50, EC = 0x73 0x02 0x02
firmware v2, which is supported experimentally. I do not know what to say about the driver firmware..
