Refined ALPS TouchPad driver

Recommended Posts

Thats good news :)

 

How much faster should I make the trackstick? 2x faster or 4x faster? The target is same speed as touchpad.

 

There's not much I can do to improve scrolling. It's just how the Linux driver works.

 

As for older versions of OS X, I have the deployment target set to 10.6+

I haven't personally tested anything other that Yosemite. I guess we'll have to wait for more reports.

Thank you for your support so far. I think 2x faster should be enough, it's near Windows speed.

I'll do a new Mavericks install with Clover and see if it makes a difference. I've been running Mountain Lion and  Mavericks with myHack.

Will report back tomorrow. If it works with Mavericks, then I'll try rebuilding Mountain Lion too.

I'm back @home

Downloaded Release 3 which works about 8 minutes, then a lot of "ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on mouse input stream." errors, then "ApplePS2Keyboard: Unexpected acknowledge (fa) from PS/2 controller." after this error pad and stick died

@wern: Are you sure you don't have any other kexts installed? We have the same hardware if I remember correctly. Use ikext to install. Delete the mouse kext from the plugins folder before install.

 

@Gia: It would be helpful if you provide the hw version of your touchpad. Search in console for "found ALPS ..." If I have to guess, I'll say its a V3 Rushmore. It had an update related to sleep in its interrupt handling.

 

@Jake: I'm using the 10.10 SDK so maybe this is why the kext is not loading on older versions. Will change that later and post a test version.

I've manually deleted the kext before copy them, mouse kext is not present in Release 3, same hardware V3.

Now i remember, i've started the Laptop and closed the lid after 8 minutes, so pad and stick died after wake from sleep like on Gia's post.

I see this error "Unexpected acknowledge (fa) from PS/2 controller" after wake from sleep.

What about inertia?
