[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Hi, I was very glad, when I could finally use my touchpad on my HP Pavillion dm4-2000sg. Thank you again very much for that great work and your great support here, Seth. Unfortunately, I have upgraded my system to Ubuntu 12.04 the other day and the touchpad stopped working. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling the driver, rebooted after each change loaded the module manually, but nothing helped. :( What can I do? Btw, I still have the debug outputs about those random clicks that just happen from time to time on my hard drive. Are you still interested, Seth?

Hi, I am coming from bug #1041916, where the ALPS device on Fujitsu Lifebook AH530 is not recognized by psmouse.ko, neither on precise, quantal, nor mainline linux-image-3.6.0-999-generic 3.6.0-999.20120830405, Since psmouse-alps-dkms has helped some people to have their ALPS detected, does it make sense to check that ?

@Seth, thanks for the driver. Great job. I have an HP Pavilion dm4-2075 running Ubuntu 11.10. After installing version 0.10 of your driver (post #492), I got the following results: + Two-finger vertical scrolling works + Two-finger horizontal scrolling works + Disabled while typing works None of these worked before. Once again, thanks. I was so impressed by the way this community works that I finally decided to join. I have been using Ubuntu for over 5 years now, and I feel I should contribute to this great project somehow.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Hello everyone, I have made a patch that adds semi-mt support to v4 Alps touchpads. Unfortunately it is quite buggy. On my Vaio the Left Half of the Touchpad is quite erratic (synclient -m 10 shows f alternating constantly between 1 and 2 fingers with one finger touching it). The right Half of the Touchpad (i.e. if x1000 in synclient -m x) works as intended (two finger scrolling/taps and three fingers are recognized). I have used the Documentation from Seth Forshee and essentially copied his work. I would really appreciate it if someone could finalize the patch. I hope Seth could revisit this :) P.S. I am not a programmer (I guess programmers will understand this) :) ** Patch added: ALPS v4 semi-mt support (buggy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/+attachment/3034614/+files/alpsv4.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Sampo Saarela: The RedHat/Fedora folks have been a little late to the party on this problem. In fact, they tried to close work on it, arguing that it was an impossible problem because ALPS would not cooperate. It was really quite disappointing to me. That's why I'm so impressed and delighted that Seth Forshee found a way to make it work. Now there are packages for their distros, however.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Is it possible to make this driver available for other distributions as well? If I'm right it is just about the packaging because this is fix is in fact for kernel? Though I'm not capable of repackaging this driver or patching my kernel someone else might be? I'm using Fedora and I have HP DM3z and I'm quite sure that this pug is the one affecting me. And somehow I get the feeling of this launchpad page that it somehow is related to fedora (my url is https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+source/linux/+bug/550625?comments=all) yet there is only talk about different Ubuntu variants and .deb packages going around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
The dumps I posted yesterday are when I see the slow down, and I'm not near any other electronic devices. I'm going to have to keep a journal of the mouse flying off to the left problem and see if it correlates to things I'm next to. Note that it could be interference from internal devices as well. The driver simply reports the values from the hardware unmodified, so unless there's some problem with interpreting the data (which seems unlikely at this stage, but not impossible) the jump indicates a sudden change in the position being reported by the touchpad. If you can enable the packet dump and collect the dmesg data (*immediately* after you see the jump, switch to a VT and collect the data without touching the touchpad or trackstick) I'll take a look and see if I can identify what's happening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Seth, thanks for your extensive feedback regarding the trackstick. Perceived behavior after patch application is that it's hard to point exact pixels. It feels like the cursor is too fast no matter how gently the trackstick is pushed. Changing the acceleration factor does actually have expected effect, i.e. changed acceleration. However no matter whether the acceleration is set towards higher values or lower values, one feels a significant (and constant) loss of pointing precision in the pointer while it is controlled via trackstick. If I understood correctly various touchpad revisions installed by different manufacturers report the same signature thus one has to use very compromise settings because the driver doesn't know which touchpad revision is installed (unless e.g. DMI table is inspected for retrieving more information about laptop). If it is the case I can understand it must be pain to satisfy everyone. Would you mind mentioning some few hints for anyone willing to poke around the trackstick sensitivity in the source code coming with the debian package of the driver? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Everyone: I'm happy to report that the ALPS patches we've been testing have been accepted by the mainline input subsystem maintainer and should show up in kernel version 3.3. We also plan to include them in the Ubuntu kernel for the 12.04 release. Thanks for your help in testing! pauljohn32: In at least one case so far erratic mouse behavior has been shown to be caused by apparent electrical interference from other hardware, and since you say that plugging in USB devices causes the behavior it makes me wonder if you have a similar situation. This probably wouldn't create very dramatic movements when the touchpad was reporting relative motion events, so it may have been there all along but only became noticeable with the new driver as it reports absolute position events. Do I understand correctly that the dumps you gave were taken right after you saw sluggish cursor movement? If so I'll look and see if the data offer any explanation. BlogCrawler: In your log I see a typo that was fixed prior to the 0.10 version of the driver, so I don't think you're actually using the version from coment #492. You can check what version you have installed by running 'apt-cache showpkg psmouse-alps-dkms' in a terminal. If it shows the 0.10 version installed, you could still be using a previous version if you haven't rebooted or reloaded the driver since installing. To be safe, I suggest that after you verify you have the 0.10 package installed you power off your machine, remove all power (including the battery) for several seconds, then put the battery back in and boot up. Some of the old versions of the driver could leave the touchpad in a bad state when the driver initialization failed where your log shows the failure, and removing all power will ensure that the touchpad is fully reset. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I already remarked here that trackstick sensitivity becomes broken when this ALPS patches get applied. While it was an optional package I was okay with it. However I would disagree about getting the patches obligatorily. There was no reaction about it, I could speculate that people using touchpad usually don't care much about trackstick or based on some technical argumentation the developer believes the trackstick sensitivity problem cannot be related to this patch. If I am the vast minority with my Latitude E6410 I would take the time to remove the patched driver during kernel upgrade. Obviously I am very thankful and appreciate all the hard work which Seth devoted to the driver implementation.

I did make some adjustments to sensitivity early on based on feedback. I apologize if I overlooked any subsequent comments. It's not true that trackstick sensitivity can't be adjusted in the driver, but it is true that these devices appear to report very different values for the trackstick once the touchpad is put in absolute mode, which causes the observed jump in sensitivity. Just becuase the driver changes have been merged doesn't mean we can't continue to improve it. The difficulty with the sensitivity is that it's partly personal preference, and from the comments I've seen I suspect that it might also vary from machine to machine. On the machines I'm testing with the sensitivity seems fine, and further reduction of the sensitivity in the driver actually impairs the ability to make fine adjustments to the cursor position. Actually it's _less_ sensitive than when I load the driver with proto=bare. It also seems to respond to adjusting the Acceleration setting on the Mouse tab of the Mouse and Touchpad settings.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Hello, Seth It's me again, still trying to get good diagnostic output for the driver. I have 2 files attached here, as you ask for. In the previous post, I said that sometimes the mouse flies off to the top left, and you asked if perhaps I'm touching the left part of the touchpad. I've been checking. Definitely, I'm not touching the left side. That still happens intermittently. And here's the weirdest part. If I plug in a USB mouse and keyboard, sometimes the cursor flies about wild up to the left, even if I don't touch the touchpad at all. Just using the mouse does that. The other weird problem is periodic sluggishness. Sometimes touching the pad just doesn't move the pointer much. Sometimes it will stay sluggish for a long while and I modprobe the psmouse to shake it loose. But sometimes it goes away after 5 or 10 seconds. I don't see any pattern in it. I've been trying to get diagnostic output for those moments. I change to the VT1 and create the diagnostic files, but I fear the output will not help you because the sluggishness may be cured by the act of hitting Alt-Ctl-F1. I mean, by the time I get there and run input-events, I can't say for sure if the mouse is still sluggish or not. But I just have to rely on your best guess! On Debian, my kernel is 3.0.0-1-amd64 and the psmouse patch is version 10. ** Attachment added: input-events diagnstics for psmouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/+attachment/2591485/+files/psmouseDiagnosis.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

With this I could vertical scroll and a tap in the top right of the touchpad would act as a right mouse clickno horizontal scroll but I was happy the mouse sensitivity was steady and not jittery did not have a touchpad tab in the mouse and touchpad configuration either. Decided it was time to update the touchpad package so I remove dkms and Henk's package. Restarted then reinstalled dkms and installed psmouse- alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb.

The touchpad tab in mouse and tachpad configuration was there but no amount of tuning changed the sensitivity to my liking.

These were just tuning guesses to see if the speed and jitters and erratic touchpad behaviour would settle down. However it was just a little to touchy for my personal liking. Seth your work on this driver is excellent and enabled many features that were previously unavailable, thank you. On my laptop I was just unable to tune the jitters out of the touchpad.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
I think we have _2_ completely different issues here. The first one is (exclusively) on Dell hardware where the Tracpad isn't recognized and shows up as a PS/2 mouse. For this bug (which I have), the patch here doesn't seem to help at all. The second bug (fixed by the patch) seems to be where the trackpad was recognized... see title of this bug, but is mis-behaving. This case affects some Dells and Sony alike. Unfortunately, many of the tickets marked as a duplicate of this one are really not a duplicate, since the trackpad isn't recognized at all. Here are the ones I think should be broken off into another related, but different bug report.

Great job. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Thanks for nice driver! I tried it on Dell Latitude E6410 with openSUSE 11.4, kernel 2.6.37 (I needed some upstream patches in order to compile the driver with this kernel). Almost all things works fine, including two-finger scrolls. Track-stick scrolling works after adjusting Xorg settings (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Example:_Wheel_Emulation_.28for_a_Trackpoint.29). But there is jitter, adjusting touchpad settings doesn't help. Maybe I should install newer kernel? However, it seems like there is no jitter issue with touchpads that works out-of-the-box on openSUSE 11.4 Also, on windows I can tap on a track-stick to produce mouse clicks. Can this behavior be achieved in linux? I attached debug logs with track- stick taps. ** Attachment added: dell-e6410-logs.zip https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/+attachment/2552353/+files/dell-e6410-logs.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Dell Precision M4600 Debian 3.0.0-1-amd64 I've after alps-dkms version 0.6 or so, I have noticed occasional weird behaviors. Sometimes cursor flies to far left of screen, sometimes the touchpad seems to become nonresponsive for a moment. Often it wakes up and works again, sometimes I have to remove and reload the module. Two times tonight I've noticed this and have looked into the input-events output. It turns out the Debian input-utils is not build correctly for their kernel, but the Ubuntu input-events will install and so it seems to work. I can't say if these files are going to help, but I followed Seth's instructions and I am attaching 2 sets of files in a tarball (since I can't find a way to attach more than one file in this interface). OK? ** Attachment added: input-output.tar.gz https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/+attachment/2552570/+files/input-output.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Thanks Seth for this great work ! I have a Dell Latitude Z600 with an Alps touchpad : [5.866717] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input12 With version 0.10 of psmouse-alps-dkms under Ubuntu 11.10, my touchpad is detected as a synaptic touchpad. When I do synclient PalmDetect=1, I have palm detection working, which is really really great ! When I set VertTwoFingerScroll=1, the two-finger vertical scrolling doesn't work... but it's not a big issue for me. Thanks again !

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Using 0.10 on Dell Latitude E6320 with Ubuntu 11.04 x64. Touchpad recognised correctly and I can mange it using the Mouse or the Pointing Devices settings. A few things I noticed: - Whenever I reboot, the touchpad is unresponsive and I have to turn it off and on again in Pointing Devices before it works. In fact, gpointing device settings does not seem to remember some of the settings. E.g. if I click on Disable while any other devices are conncected, it is indeed disabled, but when I re-open Pointing Devices, the checkbox is unchecked again and I need to check and uncheck it again before the touchpad is activated again. - Palm detection does not seem to have an effect. No matter what I set there, I can move the mouse cursor with my palm. Maybe these are gpointing issues and unrelated to the driver, but I thought I let you know.
