Thanks. This is getting really strange. I all but gave up on this and was about to just return the laptop when I booted into "recovery mode" that grub2 set up for me and the patched driver detects the touch pad but it does not work.
From looking at the grub.cfg the only difference is the added "single" in the boot.
Looking at the alps.c file does anyone know where the debugging stuff is supposed to land? in a file in /sys or in dmesg or??
I get a "stick" which i dont have as well:
| Code: | [ 27.406398] input: DualPoint Stick as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input13

I hope you may find the detail that helps you get your touchpad into a working state. The crux is: Although it is an ALPS touchpad, it is used using the synaptics driver and must be told so first. Without the InputClass section in my xorg.conf, the touchpad is dead, because xorg tries evdev, which can't handle it. (At least this was the case when I added that part.)

Yes, for _using_ the touchpad this option was never needed, I added it to find out good values for xorg.conf by monitoring touchpad events using synclient. | man synclient (1.6.2) wrote: | DESCRIPTION
This program lets you change your Synaptics TouchPad driver for XOrg/XFree86 server parameters while X is running.
For the -m and -h options, SHM must be enabled by setting the option SHMConfig "on" in your XOrg/XFree86 configuration.
(...snip...)
EXAMPLES
To disable EdgeMotionSpeed:
synclient EdgeMotionSpeed=0
To monitor touchpad events (requires SHM):
synclient -m 100
|
After I finished the configuration, I never bothered to turn it off again.

Thanks for your help Yamakuzure.
I suspect something is buggy with my kernel patch because the touch pad does not reliably show up when I boot.
I have added your config to my xorg.conf.d/ and run your egreps.
The path I was trying to remember is /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/mouse1 /dev/input/mouse2 when I can get the psmouse module to detect the touchpad I have the 3 mouse "files" when I cant I only get /dev/input/mouse0.
If i
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/mouse0 |
I can get all kinds of strange characters when I move the usb mouse
when I can get psmouse to load and detect the touchpad the usb mouse moves to /dev/input/mouse2
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/mouse0 |
then does nothing and mouse2 has the strange chars.
I am under the impression that if the kernel driver for the alps is working correctly I should get funny characters from
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/mouse0 |
or mouse1 when I use the touchpad.
In the random case when I can get the touchpad to showup like when I booted single user I dont get anything from those device files.
From reading that guys patch alps.c he is using acpi to detect the touchpad type so perhaps it is something I am missing under acpi?
I cant find any debugging output for the module yet.
The funny thing is I only have one kernel installed on here so its not like the module could be loading from a different version.
| Code: | ls /lib/modules/

IIRC, since xorg-server 1.6, input properties exported by the server are enough for synclient.
@turtles: does your Xorg log confirm synaptics driver is being loaded ?
Also, cat-ing /dev/input/ nodes doesn't need to work for the devices to work. |

| Pastebin the whole log - this snippet shows only that the touchpad is detected and the correct driver is used. |

OK, according to the log, your touchpad is detected and works fine.
So:
- what exactly doesn't work ?
- what exactly did you put into configuration files and where did you put them ? |

Thanks for your continued interest
The touchpad is completely dead in X and on the console with those logs.
I can use a usb mouse fine in X and console (no X with gpm)
I generally run with no xorg.conf.
I put a few test files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d trying combinations of loading synaptics and turning this on and off
| Code: | #Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "touchpad ignore duplicates"
# MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# MatchOS "Linux"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
# Option "Ignore" "on"
#EndSection
|
I saw there is somthing of a default file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
I have about given up since I keep getting erratic results
some times I see the touchpad show up as /dev/input/event15 and sometimes not at all.
I am currently messing around with this version http://www.dahetral.com/public-download/psmouse-alps-1.3.tbz/view
However I suspect an earlier version worked
And I still cant find where that debugging data is for psmouse kernel module since I dont get any in dmesg
thanks again

Ok, here I've got an answer for my message to Dahetral:
| Quote: |
The interface to input_mt_init_slots changed in the 3.5 kernel. We made
the interface conditional in psmouse.h and wrapped it inside
__input_mt_init_slots. Make sure you are using the psmouse.h in the 1.3
dlkm. It sounds like you are picking up another one.
|
Gonna test it.. |

Youd do not have, by any chance, a program (like "synaptiks") running that actually turns the touchpad off when a mouse is plugged in?

hy turtles and all other,
here is the way i got my alps toutchpad running on my "Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition".
try exactly these steps and show what happens.
1. install 3.6 kernel (works not with 3.7 for me)
2. copy alps.c and alps.h (to kernel directory) from this site "http://www.dahetral.com/public-download" use "psmouse-alps-dst-0.4"
3. compile kernel and modules
4. install xorg-x11 not only xorg-server
5. install xf86-input-synaptics driver: U NEED THIS
6. create xorg.conf in etc/X11/ U NEED THIS / here is my config, thanks Yamakuzure.

Thanks again such a funny project for a new laptop. better than not having video drivers.
I managed to get the alps touchpad working only in X on my Dell E5430 with psmouse-alps-1.3.tbz just using the alps.c and alps.h with kernel 3.6.11.
I think I tried it with the whole directory and it did not work.
I did a progression of xconfigs but It really did not matter until I got this in dmesg:
| Code: | dmesg | grep input
[ 24.145928] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input13

Checking kdm.log | Code: | | grep 'EE' /var/log/kdm.log |
(not in Xorg.0.log) I found errors like this:

And you were correct in that even now alps.c works in dmesg I dont get the garbled data in | Code: | | cat /dev/input/event14 |
like you used to with | Code: | | cat /dev/input/mouse0 |
Which is sad since I think it breaks gpm and I still dont have a touchpad in console when X is not running or when I CTRL + ALT + F1 to a new tty.
However my usb mouse works in the console.
The pertinent stuff from X was I have a config dir not a xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/91-synaptics.conf
That file name has to have a number higher than 50 since and ends in .conf
There is a /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
That X parses them in order.
My current working config without the options section:
| Code: |
#Section "Module"
# Load "synaptics"
#EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad ignore duplicates"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchOS "Linux"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection
|
I think the ignore section should be broken out and above the options
Hope this helps some one else[/code]

I bought an Asus N56DP and it appears to have the same issue. I don't really care about the advanced trackpad features as I mostly use the keyboard (ratpoison, screen, etc). Can I disable trackpad while typing, or will that only when when the trackpad is using the synaptics driver? I did try touchfreeze and it appeared to require synaptics.
Although I might just disable the trackpad completely until it works with a recent kernel. I'm not giving up the latest xf86-video-ati drivers for this.
EDIT: Worked around by assigning a key to disable/enable the trackpad:
| Code: |
xinput set-prop "PS/2 Generic Mouse" "Device Enabled" 0 # Change to "1" to re-enable
|
See this link for more detail: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4469/disable-mouse-not-touchpad-in-xorg-while-idle |

| I have the same problem with the touchpad of my Dell Latitude e6530. It would be great if an official patch is released by the gentoo-sources developers. The Fedora developers released a patch for their kernel (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812111#c131). |

I had the same issues with a Dell Inspiron 15R SE (7520) and setting
| Code: | | CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y |
in the kernel's .config file (gentoo-sources-3.8.13) fixed the problem. Now dmesg shows the touchpad and X picked it transparently. The idea comes from this thread. |

This makes the touchpad "working" , but not working properly on my E7440.
I'm using the psmouse-alps-1.3-alt.tbz with linux 3.11.6 , copy the alps.c and alps.h to the kernel directory, compile it , it works fine. Two fingers scroll also works, not perfect but usable.
By the way, you may need to change the "__input_mt_init_slots" to "input_mt_init_slots" if compile errors.
Great thanks to the author Kevin Cernekee!! |

As mentioned earlier, just copying alps.c and alps.h from daetheral tgz does not solve the problem for kernels >3.7. The fix was initially to pull also psmouse.h that contained the extra
| Code: |
#include <linux/version.h>
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 7, 0)
#define __input_mt_init_slots input_mt_init_slots
#else
#define __input_mt_init_slots(x,y,z) input_mt_init_slots(x,y)
#endif
|
But as for now with kernel 3.10.25 the exchange of psmouse.h does not work anymore. What works instead is simply adding a line
| Code: | | #define __input_mt_init_slots input_mt_init_slots |
to the top of original psmouse.h
This is almost same as Eong mentioned in the previous post/ |
