On my Dell mini 10 (Inspiron 1010), I got it successfully working when forcing the hw version to 2 in the code. By default it is not recognised at all as elantech due to the middle byte of the firmware query, so one must still add the option force_elantech. For info, here is an output with debug activated: elantech.c: Elantech version query result 0x02, 0x08, 0x01. elantech.c: Probably not a real Elantech touchpad. Enabling anyway due to force_elantech. elantech.c: assuming hardware version 2, firmware version 2.1 elantech.c: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x08, 0x13, 0x0d. Maybe the middle byte is just a middle version number? -- Can't configure Elan tech touchpad on Dell Inspiron 11z, Asus K7I0C and maybe also Dell Mini 10 (not V), ASUS k40in, Asus U81A and ASUS UL80-VT. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually I wasn't aware of the internals of the ALPS driver, or the existance of an ALPS driver, for that matter, but yes. That certainly looks like what I had in mind. Currently we only have 2 options in the driver: main is hardware version (1 or 2, 4-byte or 6-byte packets), the second is jumpy cursor which is indeed tied to hardware version 1. I would be interested to see if we can pinpoint the transition from hardware version 1 to 2 better, and I suspect we'll have to take into account middle byte for it. Yes, I completely agree. We only seem to disagree on the method to figure out a proper way to identify v2 hardware. I suggested hardcoding a list of known firmware ids, and giving the user a way to override the decicions made with that. That way it seems reasonably easy to obtain more data points on firmware and hardware versions. Once we have enough of those, pinpointing the v1-v2 transition will hopefully be trivial, and even if it isn't, we'd still have have an infrastructure we can easily add new devices as reported by users to. All that, while not introducing any regressions in detection. You seem to suggest the same thing, except before 3. profit!, you've got 2. ???, instead of 2. make collecting datapoints easier. Am I misunderstanding you? Have you tried talking to Arjan about it? No, I haven't. Based on the feedback of others he seemed unresponsive on this issue. I'll try tho. For .34 I'd appreciate a patch simply forcing Viking's full (3-byte) firmware version to map to hw 2 to minimize regressions.

I'm fairly sure that'd be wrong. The jumpy_cursor codepath very much
relies on 4-byte packets.

That's more like it, but with the information we have so far, we can't
really tell.
At this point, I feel inclined to just add a list of devices with their
full firmware version query result and their associated quirks to the
driver.
It's apparent we're guessing wrong somehow, but changing the guesses
blindly doesn't really have a good chance of making it better. It's more
likely to make already working devices break.
Having the possibility to turn individual quirks on and off, which would
be easy enough once we have the suggested device table, will probably
allow users to report their firmware version and the necessary quirks
easier.
Once a clear pattern emerges from the firmware - quirks mapping, we can
still adjust the guessing algorithm without fearing breakage too much.
Would that work for you, Dmitry?

My best guess would be that you either have a device sending new-style
6-byte packets (i.e. hardware version 2, as the driver calls it), or
that you have a device with 4-byte packets (hw version 1), which behaves
slightly different from other v1 devices and might need a quirk in the
driver.
I'd suggest trying to force the driver to assume hardware version 2 and
see how that works out.

Ok, I think that ALLurGroceries' directions worked this time (thanks!). Now I can say that this patch didn't work for me. Using the patched module, my touchpad has no predictable behavior.

You're correct, the first two bits of the first byte indeed indicates the number of fingers used currently, just like with any other version of the firmware using 6 byte packets. The x- and y-coordinates are also identical to what earlier firmware versions provided, with one minor difference: the high bits of the the bytes representing the upper half of the coordinates apparently have been reused for something else. That's alright, as they've always been zero in earlier firmware versions, and would only be needed for the coordinates if it wanted to report positions outside of the actual dimensions of the pad, which of course it doesn't. However, the elantech extension of the psmouse module used all the bits available, and therefore relied on them being 0, breaking with new touchpad firmwares. I've fixed that and sent off the patches to the linux-input mailinglist. See http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg08277.html With all those patches applied, things Just Work on the ASUS UL30A. However, I pretty much hardcoded the firmware version of the touchpad I have. I'm sure there are other versions out there, which would work as well, but I wanted to avoid wrongly identifying non-elantech devices. Therefore I added the force_elantech parameter to the psmouse module. If, with those patches, your elantech touchpad still isn't recognized as such, please retry with force_elantech=1 and report the firmware version as shown in the kernel log. -- Can't configure Elan tech touchpad on Dell Inspiron 11z, Asus K7I0C and maybe also Dell Mini 10 (not V), ASUS k40in, Asus U81A and ASUS UL80-VT. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It seems like this particular touchpad gets stuck in relative mode unless it gets 0x0c (anywhere thru 3f) to reg_10 I see. This isn't necessary for my device, reporting firmware version 0x04 0x01 0x01. The register settings currently used for v2 hardware in the driver just work for me.

My device's capability bits are 0x7e 0x13 0x0d. The firmware is reported as 0x04 0x01 0x01, as mentioned earlier. I'll go add the magic register values to put your device into absolute mode to the patch, and also whitelist your device accordingly. I'm not entirely sure what I should be using to decide what sort of register values should be sent, based on the firmware version, yet. I think I'll start off with always sending the old-style magic, except when a device is known to require the new bits (i.e. just the fw version you reported), or if sending the new magic is forced somehow (I'll probably just turn force_elan from a bool to an uint).

Affects ASUS U80V-A2. I commented out this check in
drivers/input/mouse/elantech.c and the touchpad is recognized as
Elantech, but it breaks functionality. Must be a different magic knock
for these affected touchpads.
if (param[0] == 0 || param[1] != 0) {
pr_debug(elantech.c: Probably not a real Elantech touchpad.
Aborting.\n);

I have the elantech touchpad on my zepto znote 3215W. Kernel 2.6.31-17-generic the bug I reported in was assigned but is no longer so i don't know what is going to happen about it. It was completely unusable and could not be configured. It is still not working fully. I can now disable tapping but it seems there are at least 2 problems: 1/ There seems to be some interaction between psmouse and the keyboard - with psmouse loaded then there seems to be a huge amount of key bounce as I type so that it repeats many times like i for one or more keys during typing a word. This is so in a terminal window, with gedit or openoffice writer and so on. If I rmmod psmouse ( I am using a usb mouse and only load psmouse when testing ) the bounce goes away 2/ If I try to move the mouse pointer from the bottom to the top of the screen or vice versa then I have to stroke the touchpad several times - which is normal i know. Problem is that sometimes I might stroke it once from bottom to top, the pointer moves about 1/3 to 1/2 way up, then I put my finger at the bottom to stroke it again and the pointer jumps back down to the bottom of the screen as soon as my finger touches the pad. This sometimes means I have to stroke it as many as 10 or even 12 times before it gets where I want. Then it might work normally for several minutes before it starts messing about again. Not sure exactly what the issue is but I have tried other live distros such as mandriva and Suse and the problem is the same. I do wonder if it is a fault with my touchpad but it has been like this from day one when I was running Ubuntu 8.04.
