[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
Karol Szkudlarek, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

I installed the package on my Fujitsu Lifebook and it is almost unusable - the touchpad fails to detect small touches (i.e. detects only a flat finger, not the fingertip); the x/y values are way off (y movement much faster than x, which is very sluggish).

Hi, It has been fixed for 'Dolphin V1' touchpads - the driver is upstream so they are fine. The problem is that 'Doplhin V2' touchpads don't yet work - although a driver has been written (it's in the DKMS module and works great), it hasn't yet been pushed to the mainline kernel. It would be great if 'V2' support was mainlined too. Apologies, I didn't really say this very clearly in my first comment.

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
Hi all, I have a Dell Vostro 3360 with a 'Dolphin V2' touchpad, running linux 3.10-rc1 (latest from git). I have been using the psmouse-alps-1.3-alt.tbz driver, works fine (touchpad detected, multitouch, not too jumpy) except for edge scrolling (but I don't care about that because two-finger scrolling works). I had to make a few changes to build it against the latest kernel tree though, and instead of doing the DKMS thing I just copied alps.c into drivers/input/mouse/alps.c then rebuilt the kernel. Attached is a patch which applies the 1.3-alt code to linux 3.10. Is it possible to get this V2 support mainlined? This patch works fine for me, but I'd be happy to provide any data/have a go at mild hacking required to fix other issues (edge scrolling) if that is needed to get the driver upstream. The work so far is great, thanks to everyone involved. Cheers!

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
Now that Linux 3.9 is making its way into circulation, let's summarize the reported issues to date: 1) No Dolphin V2 support. Still need to borrow hardware to fully understand the report format and make edge scrolling work without excessive pressure. I believe we have a good init sequence. 2) Resync errors: [1766509.702598] psmouse serio1: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 6 [1766509.712794] psmouse serio1: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynced.

I see these pop up in dmesg every week or two; they run for maybe a minute or so and then vanish, with no obvious ill effects. Not sure how to reproduce them. 3) Click-and-drag (e.g. selecting text in an xterm) suddenly quits working. I've only seen this happen once. Unloading and reloading psmouse.ko fixed it. This problem mystifies me because when I ran xev, I still saw all of the proper events coming from the input device. So maybe it was caused by something higher in the stack. 4) Tap-to-click is broken on Rushmore[1]. Root cause: when transitioning from Linux 3.8 (touchpad detected as generic PS/2 mouse) to 3.9 (touchpad detected as an ALPS touchpad), tap-to-click in the pointer settings may need to be enabled by hand. If the touchpad is detected as a generic PS/2 mouse, tap-to-click will work regardless of this setting. 5) Pointer jumps all over the screen after suspend/resume on a Rushmore touchpad. Seen once, cannot reproduce. 6) "Noisy" X/Y values on Rushmore[2]. Reporter is investigating whether this shows up on other drivers. Three possibilities include: i) it's noisy everywhere, even in Windows; ii) the input data is noisy, and the driver needs to clean it up; or iii) the other drivers get "clean" report data but we're using a bad init sequence so our report data is sketchy. Any hints on reproducing #2, #3, or #5 would be appreciated.

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
@libondam-0 Response to comments 348, 349, 350: The easiest, and I mean *easiest*, way is to hack alps.c for the raw input from the touchpad and then "xinput setprop" to tune the X11 cooked input. For brand-new alps touchpads that don't adhere to any of the known protocols, this is not sufficient and one needs to reverse engineer the Windows driver behavior. Seth Forshee showed us the way and then Ben Garami figured out the the new extensions. I seriously doubt this will be the case for you. Use Virtualbox or Qemu to create a guest OS. I used Vista. Seth showed how to patch the I/O layer to dump the bytes going between the guest driver and the hardware. The catch is that the new alps drivers check the BIOS ACPI DSDT tables to make sure it's an ALPS hardware module; if not it drops into 3-byte PS2 mode. Therefore the virtual ACPI DSDT table must be updated to use the Hardware ID (HID) for the alps hardware model (taken from the real ACPI DSDT table.) If this sounds a little complicated, it is. Make sure you install the Alps driver into the guest OS! In the alps.sh from the 1.3 DLKM, there are some helper routines to get the real DSDT and patch the qemu acpi-dsdt.dsl table for the correct HID. There is another way to reverse engineer an ALPS touchpad, discovered by Kevin Cernekee but it's not totally reliable. It worked for him, and cleaned up the E6430 code a good deal. Email Kevin directly for how to do it.

Hi Dave Glad to see you are monitoring. What/where is the best way to communicate about this? The problem at hand: It comes down to reverse engineering then.

Must go backtrack a bit here. Do you have any idea if there is anything of the sort going on upstream? I do not want to invent the (mouse)wheel, but if nothing is happening, I will have a go. Looks a bit like a can of worms to me, but hey, I believe I like to make things work. Would appreciate suggestions/tips as to how to go about. Like using real or virtual XP I use kvm/qemu here, and touchpad support would have to be added I think. And then, how much do I have to know about win XP? will keep posting here for now Lee -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
@libondom-0
My guess is this is another mutation of the ALPS touchpad. It clearly
is a new signature, which you added, which indicates new behavior: the
trackstick. There have been several new significant behaviors added to
the alps driver ("Rushmore" and "Dolphin").
The best I can recommend, not having this touchpad (and it's an n:m
mapping between Dell system and Alps touchpad), is to add code to the
driver to dump the trackstick changes and then try to reverse engineer
what the movement codes actually mean. See the
alps_process_packet_v1_v2 routine.
BTW, I experienced similar upheaval in the late 1980's as a customer to
a company called Newbridge. Its staff was turning over so quickly that
relative newbies were the sole support for some of their hardware and
just hacked it up to get it to work regardless of documentation or
compatibility. They released M$ drivers to support the new firmware but
Unix boxes (we were a SUN shop) were left hanging. Newbridge and SUN no
longer exist; I think this bodes poorly for ALPS.

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
First of all: thanks for the work guys
I am on Dell Latitude XT
Alps hardware: touchpad, 4 buttons, 1 stick
Touchpad is detected as PS2 mouse, synapticts not loaded.
Touchpad works (tapping/moving), but not very sensitive cq. delays, buttons an
stick work
The insensitivity / delays made me look for changing the setup.
And that made me aware of the synaptics issue.
(I never use scrolling so had not noticed anything missing ...).
Installed Os's:
wheezy 3.2.0-4-amd64 / xubuntu 3.2.0-40-generic / XP .
Downloaded psmouse-alps-1.3 from http://dahetral.com/public-download.
Unfortunately, there is no support for Dell Latitude XT.
Found an old mail exchange (2009) from Dmitry Torokhov.
This gave me a clue as what to try.
Added the following line to alps_model_data[]
{ { 0x73, 0x00, 0x14 }, 0x00, ALPS_PROTO_V2, 0xf8, 0xf8, ALPS_DUALPOINT
| ALPS_FW_BK_2 }, /* Dell Latitude XT */
resulting dmesg:

input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input11
Touchpad recognized, tapping works, scrolling works, buttons work.
The stick however goes haywire, sending random click events when touched.
This is in both xubuntu and wheezy
In wheezy I had to enable tapping, in xubuntu tapping worked 'out of the box'
My questions:
What is the status of Latitude XT support in alps.c ?
Can I help ?
Where to put these questions ?
I am pretty comfortable with linux and C
I also have win XP with latest Dell Alps driver on this laptop
(must say, I am not a happy windows hacker but can do ...)

I get a behavior similar to what I got with the version I was using before (alps-dst-0.4, by Dave): still no edge-scrolling, and random choppyness, as if the touchpad skips some input frames (though that last one might only be my imagination, I must give it some time to confirm).

Just to say: thank you! The touchpad now works better on my dell latitude E6230. I can scroll on the edge and the "circular scroll" also works. The two fingers scroll and right-click isn't easy, but the touchpad isn't so wide. I haven't get for now the three fingers middle click … but it doesn't matter for me.

Just so we're on the same page - the "input-next" tree [1] (input.git, branch "next") is Dmitry's staging area for proposed input subsystem changes to send to Linus for the next merge window - currently targeting Linux 3.9.

This is believed to be in working order, and ready to merge. 3) Dolphin V2 support, consisting of my new init + detection sequence. This was marked as WIP because the pressure readings at the edge of the touchpad are still "off." I am hoping somebody with access to this hardware can help figure out why.

"It doesn't make sense to me for ALPS to create different touchpad layout using the same signature; more likely is the laptop exposes an area of the touchpad based on the available real estate." It appears that the driver can query the Dolphin V2 touchpads for their specs, and adjust the operating parameters accordingly. Unfortunately I don't know much about how this works, or what range of values we can expect to see in the wild. As for Rushmore, I can confirm that the touchpad dimensions and trackstick/buttons differ between Dell E6230/E6430, even though the IDs are the same.

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
I'm just getting back to this. Here's my view of the bug progress based on the last several (okay, few) comments: 1) the psmouse-alps-1.3 dkms works well for MOST laptops, not those based on the mysterious "Dolphin V2" init sequence. 2) the subsequent psmouse-alps-1.3-alt dkms posted by Kevin has a minor change that works for "Dolphin V2" without impacting the existing logic. So is it safe to say that ALL existing ALPS touchpads are, more or less, working with Kevin's dkms? I think a lot of the problems with edge scrolling can be tuned using the "Synaptics Edges" property. It doesn't make sense to me for ALPS to create different touchpad layout using the same signature; more likely is the laptop exposes an area of the touchpad based on the available real estate. If this is a working dkms, then I would like to proceed by: 1) Documenting the logic in alps_identify surrounding the dolphin and rushmore variants (which were removed from the alps_model_info table because it doesn't contain enough information to uniquely identify the init sequences.) 2) Update ./Documentation/input/alps.txt with details on the new variants. 3) Clear out the debug info and submit a patchset to linux-input I would love to 1) rewrite a lot of the alps code and 2) document all the systems supported by the five protocol variants. For (1) Kevin's 14-part patchset cleaned up a lot of the code and I don't see spending a week or two refactoring and testing will improve the situation much. For (2) the current group does not KNOW which systems have the different touchpad variants (i.e. I just saw that the current software now runs on a Dell M4700, great news!)

Hi Vince,
I'm answering from the bug report so everybody can see my results in a
Vostro 3360.
You're right about two-finger scrolling, it seems to work by default
("synclient -l" gets configured with FingerLow=12/FingerHigh=15). I
figured out that it doesn't work _perfectly_ (I'm still getting frequent
pointer movements instead of scrolling up/down) if I use the middle
finger + ring finger. It works much better if I use the index finger +
middle finger nail instead (YMMV, of course).
On the other hand, the edge scrolling, even setting FingerLow=5
FingerHigh=6 does not work, or does it in very seldom cases.
Thank you!

Hi Marcelo, Kevin's patch should work, but edge-scrolling is still hard to use (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59478 for an analysis of this behavior, you can improve the situation by setting eg FingerLow=5 and FingerHigh=6 using synclient). Two-finger scrolling should work fine in the meantime. 2013/2/13 Marcelo Fernandez > Hello Kevin/David, > > It seems I'm having the same touchpad found in the Fujitsu A512.

I need to work on several projects so will not have time to look at this again this week. I rebased our work on Kevin Cernekee's 14-part submission to linux-input. His patchset cleaned-up/refactored a lot of the messier code along with a more comprehensive init sequence for the Dell E6XXX series. Ben's V5 init sequence is no longer necessary. The new dlkm is at [1]. The one final step that needs to be taken is to reconcile florin9doi's init sequence for my Dell N5110 and a Fujitsu a512. The systems have the same E7/EC signatures but appear to have different init sequences. When I use the Fujitsu a512 init sequence, my system is stuck in PS/2 3-byte format and, apparently, the converse is true for the Fujitsu. I have re-added the alps_debug sysfs interface to toggle packet debug and switch between the new V5 (was V6) init sequences for the N5110 and a512. This can only be done by setting the alps_debug bit and rebuilding; I couldn't get it to work on-the-fly.

@Kevin (#305) > Are you seeing incorrect readings when using MT, or is your comment just based on the code? It would not be too surprising if > different initialization sequences altered the data format (ala Dolphin's 8-byte vs. 9-byte setting). Just inspecting the packets traveling through. Some MT reports, with one of the finger close to the edges, were not working. This was most visible when enabling 2-finger scrolling, since this would prevent scrolling if one of the fingers happens to be in the dead zones. Looking at the packets, it seems clear that there's one extra MT slot in each direction (and 16 and 12 are nicer numbers than 15 and 11). > Along similar lines, it would be nice if we could adjust the Rushmore > trackstick sensitivity so that it used the existing V3 > trackstick report code as-is, with no special divisor. My code at https://github.com/emmanuelthome/psmouse-alps does work with the V3 trackstick report code as-is (report by Malte Skoruppa who tested it). I think that the key is probably the weird thing which I called alps_e6_sort_of_setmode there. > E6230 has: > > - touchpad (80mm x 40mm) > - 2 lower buttons > - no middle button :( > > E6430 has: > > - touchpad (80mm x 45mm) > - trackstick > - 3 upper buttons > - 2 lower buttons ok, I stand corrected then. I should have made my point clearer, though. At some point it was thought that E6230/E6430 needed two entirely different init sequences, and needed to be detected based on some yet- to-be-determined magic going beyong E6/E7/EC reports. Not. It's only that trying to talk to the missing trackstick on the E6230 freezes the device, but that can be encompassed by a unified init. > "My reverse-engineering work and merge with bgamari's patches show this. > These are differentiated by querying the 0xc2c8 > register, which is not queried in Kevin's patch." > > Do you feel comfortable making the statement that checking the 0xc2c8 > register on Rushmore will unambiguously indicate > whether the configuration has a trackstick present (even if we're dealing > with a completely new, unknown PC)? Hell, if someone knew for sure, situation would be easier ;-) No, I'm not sure. What I observe is that based on the observation of E6230/E6430, bit 7 (0x80) of register c2c8 is used to choose between two code paths, one of which probably talks to the trackstick. The code structure here is almost in one-to-one mapping with the v3 code, and goes as follows: - check for presence of trackstick (bit 7 of register 0x8 on alps_v3, bit 7 of register 0xc2c8 on ``rushmore''). - if trackstrick: - enable trackstick passthrough mode by setting bit 0 of that same register - get an E7 report directly from the trackstick, although nothing is done with it. - send a magic command which sets something to the value 0x94. Might be your desired ``divisor''. - set bit 1 of register above (activate trackstick ???) - leave trackstick passthrough mode. > I did not see the ALPS driver checking this register, so if we don't know for > certain that this is the purpose > of the 0xc2c8 register, it might just be safer to always create the virtual > trackstick device on a > Rushmore-equipped PC (even if we never send it any reports). Yes. However, if the 0x94 thing above has any use, we'd better send it only conditionally, and the windows driver seems to do so only if it finds bit 0x80 in register 0xc2c8. Also, consistency with plain v3 code sort of increases the slim confidence we may have. > "Briefly put, I think we should work making all this stuff cleaner." > One thing that would probably make sense is to store the appropriate function > pointers + constants > in the alps_data struct, so we do not need case statements all over the code. The current alps_get_model logic seems hairy, too. Maybe it can be streamlined a bit, but that's just aesthetics. We could probably fetch the E6/E7/EC reports at once, and decide later. Do you have an idea of how many models will match any of the rushmore/pinnacle/pinnacle_agx rules ? Anyway. Whatever people find best doing for a patch to mainline is fine with me. I think we all have more important things to work with than silly touchpads...

I can confirm that Kevin Chernekee's version works on my latitude e5530 and ubuntu 12.04 Steps to get it work were: 1) add his ppa and enable the backports 2) edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cernekee-ppa-precise.list and change to quantal 3) sudo apt-get update 4) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-22-generic #needed for next packages incorrectly does not install the headers as a dependency 5) sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal #this installs the quantal kernel on 12.04 6) sudo apt-get install psmouse-dkms 7) reboot into the new kernel I can also confirm that i compiled dave turvenes and the stuff at git://github.com/bgamari and in both cases my touchpad is recognized, but freezes with the following messages in dmesg: [ 18.146841] psmouse serio1: alps: E6 report: 00 00 64 [ 18.165095] psmouse serio1: alps: E7 report: 73 03 0a [ 19.271188] psmouse serio1: alps: Failed to init: 17 (cmd=e7) [ 24.853381] psmouse serio1: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1 [ 36.153829] psmouse serio1: Failed to disable mouse on isa0060/serio1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Kevin Thedriver is working for me now. Last time I tried on a fresh Ubuntu 12.10, with no linux-headers-generic of the running kernel. After installing that, I could successfully install the driver. Now I have two finger scrolling. "Also, if you get my driver working, try holding your finger steady in the same place for a few seconds and see if the mouse cursor "wiggles" a tiny bit. I see this on E6230 but not E6430; need to figure out why." I don't see any wiggle. "BTW: could you please post the button configuration and touchpad dimensions from E6430u?"

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
I reviewed Kevin Cernekee's touchpad code for Dell E6230, E6430, E6410 submitted as a patch set to the linux-input listserve. This is the main avenue for linux input driver patch submissions. It looks like it has the same functionality as Ben Garami's fix for the E6430 but is a lot cleaner: hardware init, interface protocol and overall driver cleanup. It sounds like several people have tested Kevin's patch and found it to work (with a couple questions posted.) @Emmanuel Thome: I can't tell from the thread whether your fixes for the 6230 are still necessary. It sounds like Kevin's patch with an X_BITS/Y_BITS tweak should be sufficient. My thinking is, I will: 1. install Kevin's patches on an Ubuntu 12.04 baseline. His patches are for 12.10 so it should be compatible. 2. investigate some clues Kevin sent me to better understand the hardware init sequences for the N5110 and try to incorporate them. 3. merge the mt and init fixes from florin9doi 4. release a new roll-up dlkm for testing I will discard the ACPI code, as it is not very useful. Apparently Linus was accurate when he stated "ACPI is a complete design disaster in every way." The documentation for the alps driver should be put in $KERNEL/Documentation/input/alps.txt I added some for the V5 and V6 protocols, but will need to update it for the new patches. If anyone wants to cross-reference system models and alps devices, that would be the place to do it. After a test period I will submit a patchset based on acceptance of Kevin's already submitted patchset for inclusion in upstream builds. I know the Fedora maintenance team expects to put this in their next major release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
@Masoud, David J
>From what I can gather, the E6430u (ultrabook variant) identifies as
follows:
E7 report: 73 03 0a
EC report: 88 08 22 (aka: command mode response)
E6 report: 00 00 64
In the ALPS GUI, I believe this would show up as a Glidepoint T3 with
firmware version 08.22. Contrast with the non-ultrabook E6430 and the
E6230, which show up as Glidepoint T3 with firmware version 08.1D.
So I am at a loss to explain:
a) Why adding this entry to alps_model_data[] would have any effect at
all:
136a137,138
> /* Dell Latitude 6430u */
> { { 0x88, 0x08, 0x22 }, 0x22, ALPS_PROTO_V5, 0x8f, 0x8f, ALPS_DUALPOINT
> },
because the signature field is compared against the device's E7 response
(73 03 0a), not the EC response (88 08 22).
b) Why my code wouldn't detect the "88 08 22" touchpad, but it detects
the "88 08 1d" touchpads correctly. In theory, my code should detect
anything with an EC response of 88 08 xx as a Rushmore unit:
if (alps_rpt_cmd(ps2dev, PSMOUSE_CMD_SETSTREAM, PSMOUSE_CMD_RESET_WRAP,
param) ||
param[0] != 0x88 ||
(param[1] != 0x07 && param[1] != 0x08))
goto out;
/* This code has not been tested with Pinnacle AG or Pinnacle */
if (param[1] == 0x08)
model = &alps_model_rushmore;
else if (param[2] >= 0x80 && param[2] <= 0x8f)
psmouse_info(psmouse, "detected Pinnacle AG via EC report\n");
else if (param[2] >= 0x90 && param[2] <= 0x9d)
model = &alps_model_pinnacle_agx;
else if (param[2] < 0x80)
psmouse_info(psmouse, "detected Pinnacle via EC report\n");
Do you have any thoughts on what might be happening?
"Kevin's driver (as he said at the end of comment #299) on a fresh Ubuntu 12.10
did not work. The touchpad is still recognized as a mouse."
I should probably mention that I'm testing with Xubuntu. Not sure if
that makes a difference.
Are you sure your system is loading the newly built
/lib/modules/*/updates/dkms/psmouse.ko module in lieu of the shipped
version?
BTW: could you please post the button configuration and touchpad
dimensions from E6430u?
Also, if you get my driver working, try holding your finger steady in
the same place for a few seconds and see if the mouse cursor "wiggles" a
tiny bit. I see this on E6230 but not E6430; need to figure out why.

Re: [Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
Perhaps it's time to start asking a question that's been bugging me for a
while now. A loong time ago I implemented an early fix from this thread
(patching alps.c and remaking psmouse.ko) that has sort of jury-rigged me
along until now--it works, mostly, I've got vertical scrolling though the
thing is still damn sensitive even with disable-touchpad-while-typing. But
every time I update my ubuntu, it complains that my psmouse.ko is "third
party" and at the least doesn't replace it. My question: At what point will
there be something in the standard update that will be at least as good as
what I've got, and mostly, what will I have to do at that point to have the
update replace my mods?

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
@Emmanuel "Kevin's patch do not properly take into account the fact that the e6230 has 16 and 12 bits for the MT slots, and not 15 and 11 (this is the ALPS_BITMAP_X_BITS and ALPS_BITMAP_Y_BITS setting)." I will check this out. 2-finger scroll worked for me but I didn't do much else with MT. Are you seeing incorrect readings when using MT, or is your comment just based on the code? It would not be too surprising if different initialization sequences altered the data format (ala Dolphin's 8-byte vs. 9-byte setting). Along similar lines, it would be nice if we could adjust the Rushmore trackstick sensitivity so that it used the existing V3 trackstick report code as-is, with no special divisor. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. "In the ``seemingly different hardware category'', one could be mistaken into listing the Dell E6230/E6430. These do have identical hardware, except for the absence of the trackstick on the smaller E6230." E6230 has: - touchpad (80mm x 40mm) - 2 lower buttons - no middle button :( E6430 has: - touchpad (80mm x 45mm) - trackstick - 3 upper buttons - 2 lower buttons I borrowed an E6530 earlier in the week to test my patches, but unfortunately I didn't note the dimensions or layout. IIRC it was the same as the E6430. "My reverse-engineering work and merge with bgamari's patches show this. These are differentiated by querying the 0xc2c8 register, which is not queried in Kevin's patch." Do you feel comfortable making the statement that checking the 0xc2c8 register on Rushmore will unambiguously indicate whether the configuration has a trackstick present (even if we're dealing with a completely new, unknown PC)? I did not see the ALPS driver checking this register, so if we don't know for certain that this is the purpose of the 0xc2c8 register, it might just be safer to always create the virtual trackstick device on a Rushmore-equipped PC (even if we never send it any reports). "Briefly put, I think we should work making all this stuff cleaner." One thing that would probably make sense is to store the appropriate function pointers + constants in the alps_data struct, so we do not need case statements all over the code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> Can people test Kevin's patch?
I tried it on my dell e6230, it works.
Kevin's patch do not properly take into account the fact that the e6230
has 16 and 12 bits for the MT slots, and not 15 and 11 (this is the
ALPS_BITMAP_X_BITS and ALPS_BITMAP_Y_BITS setting).

I'm a bit lost here. Has anybody kept track of the different models
encountered, and on which laptops ? I think that would help a lot (most
of the info is probably in here, but very poorly organized ; In
particular it's difficult to keep track of which laptop models, among
the ones listed, seemingly have different touchpad hardware).
Dave, what's your decision on your ACPI patch ? I haven't understood
what was the rationale behind using it, as it seemed to me that we had
enough material to drive our decision by talking to hardware directly.
If I understand correctly, you are about to forget this patch, is that
right ?
Merging all existing code (yours, mine, kevin's) is in fact easier than
the recollection of what happens where, and possibly requesting some
testing hardware (posters in this thread can be solicited).
Slightly different is the situation for the short v6 init sequence in
#280, which diverges from the usual pattern, to say the least. Not
having RESET_BAT and ENABLE in there makes the sequence functionally
different from what happens with other hardware.
In the ``seemingly different hardware category'', one could be mistaken
into listing the Dell E6230/E6430. These do have identical hardware,
except for the absence of the trackstick on the smaller E6230. My
reverse-engineering work and merge with bgamari's patches show this.
These are differentiated by querying the 0xc2c8 register, which is not
queried in Kevin's patch.
Briefly put, I think we should work making all this stuff cleaner.

@Masoud The alps driver does not support three-finger or four-finger gestures for any platforms. It would be nice but it took a better man than I, florin9doi, to figure out the two-finger gesture for our platform, and we do not have a 6430u to reverse-engineer. @florin9doi Based on your comments, in my next dkms I'll back out the ACPI lookup for hardware id (_HID) since it is not unique for the actual hardware behavior. The _HID is only as useful as ALPS wants it to be apparently. I'll also insert your really small v6 init sequence.

@Kevin Cernekee
I have been asked to submit my patchset directly to the linux-input
newgroup. My patchset incorporates Ben's reverse-engineering for the
alps signature 0x73, 0x03, 0x0a and mine for 0x73, 0x03, 0x50. Your
patchset for 0x73, 0x03, 0x0a is very different, and has a lot of code
cleanup (which is a good thing.) Comments/Questions:
1) Where did you get the device names ("Dolphin", "Pinnacle", "Mercury",
etc.) and how did you figure out the protocols? Neither Ben nor I got
any kind of response from ALPS so we reverse engineered the protocol
under a virtual Windows environment. Did ALPS provide you information
on the devices?
2) All the existing EC responses are of the form 0x88, 0x07, 0xXX,
except for the signature 0x73, 0x03, 0x50, which has EC responses of
0x73, 0x01, {0x0d | 0x02}. Your patch #2 has the following assumption:
'It is presumed (hoped) that anything that isn't in the Pinnacle series
will not return "88 07 xx" or "88 08 xx".' This may break some existing
touchpad interfaces.
Any way you could provide your psmouse dkms as a tarball? Esp. because
there are a number of Fedora and Arch Linux users running my psmouse
dkms.
@all
Can people test Kevin's patch? If it works, then I'll layer the Dell
I15R, I17R, 13z on top of it and submit a patch to linux-input.

Rafael Did you get it working?

Thanks for taking the time to walk me through this. The DSDT entry for
my touchpad is "DLL0584", and now that I know what to look for I can see

@David J
I just saw your #291 post. Your device looks similar to the Latitude 6430,
etc. that Ben reverse engineered. But it has a different command-mode response
(0x88 0x08 0x22). Maybe it still conforms to the V5 protocol. To test this,
add a new entry to alps_model_data and add a new command mode response check to
the alps_enter_command_mode routine.
Also, what is the DSDT entry for the device? If you're using my 1.2
driver, that hardware id string should be dumped. If you're using
something different, run these commands
sudo sh -c "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > DSDT.aml"
iasl -d DSDT.aml
and then in DSDT.dsl, search for 'Device (PS2)' or 'EisaId ("PNP0F13")'
and list the corresponding _HID value.

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
I added an ACPI interface to get the REAL alps hardware type. See version 1.2 at [1]. I hacked the driver to wrap the E6/E7/command mode selecton code inside a function that checks the ACPI PS2 hardware id against a table (which has only one entry right now, "DLL04B0" for my Dell N5110. If there is no ACPI access or no entry in the HID table, it calls the old "get_model" routine. It took me a while to figure out the ACPI language and API but it's actually fairly flexible. I had some problems with the API because it uses a lot of double pointers - which led to several kernel crashes. Anyways, this seems to be the way the Alps drivers do it - access the ACPI DSDT table to determine the init sequence, etc., which makes a lot of sense.

In reply to #276-#277. I was mistaken on this one. Apparently the driver does nothing regarding enabling or disabling multitouch features on the trackpad. It's only a matter of the software down the line which interprets the packet data. Nothing, in fact, recognizes more than two finger in the alps driver. Presently, as far as I am aware, the only multitouch sequences which are interpreted are two-finger scrolling and two fingers for right click. The former works. The latter maybe works, although I must admit that for me, it is such an unusual gesture that I miss it most often. Could be me, could be incomplete code as well. In reply to #282: Cool.

I just realized one could completely misread an important point that I wanted to make. I did not mean that on the two linked Dell.com URLs, the "Hard Drive format" driver and the "Update Package Driver" are identical. Of course they are not. What I meant is that both * the "Hard Drive format" driver on the E6230 page and the "Hard Drive format" driver on the E6430 page are identical, and * the "Update Package format" driver on the E6230 page and the "Update Package format" driver on the E6430 page are identical. In other words, Dell provides the very same driver for both models on Windows, as is also clear by looking at the "Compatibility" tab on either page, which lists all these E6*30 models. Hence it is possible to write a unified driver for both models. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
Hi,
I just tested Emmanuel's driver patch for the E6230 on my E6530 (which
behaves identically as the E6430, see above), just to be sure.
I can confirm that Emmanuel's patch breaks compatibility with E6430/E6530.
While xinput -list does report
$ xinput -list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouseid=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
(...), I do not even have a "Touchpad" tab anymore in System Settings -> Mouse
and Touchpad.
As pointed out by Dave in comment #259, either the init sequence for the
E6230 and the E6430/E6530 have to be blended together, or some way has
to be found to distinguish the two.
Blending does not seem to be trivial. Looking at Dave's
alps_hw_init_v5() from v1.1 and Emmanuel's alps_hw_init_v5_mine(), the
two functions appear to be so radically different that I have no idea
how to even start about this. This is further complicated by the fact
that noone here has a E6230 AND a E6430/E6530 at his disposition, so
testing can at best be done by sending pieces of code back and forth
(using this bugtracker as a communication medium).
As far as distinguishing the two is concerned, since both have the same
E6 and E7 reports and command mode responses, I do not know how this
could be achieved either.
I am glad to help out by testing any piece of driver code you throw at
me on my E6530, but I lack the time to plunge into this myself.
Lastly, to answer Dave's question from comment #259, namely
"Does the Dell(Alps) touchpad driver for the E6430 say it supports the E6230?
If so then Ben's sequence is not complete."
...it seems that the answer is yes, the Dell drivers for both models are
identical. See these two links:
*
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6230?driverId=RYCJX&osCode=W732&fileId=3089898810
*
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6430?driverId=RYCJX&osCode=W732&fileId=3089898810
Note that
* the URLs differ only in the model number,
* the two actual pages differ only in minute details,
* in particular the two referenced drivers ("Hard Drive" format and "Update
Package" format) are identical (I wgot and diff'ed them),
* and the "Compatibility" tab on both pages explicitly lists the E6230, E6430
and E6530 models.
So there has to be some way to either distinguish the two models or
blend the init sequences :-)
Best,
Malte

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
Sure. Not today, though. All these features are configurable with the windows touchpad software. Assuming they map to visible config orders sent to the device upon init, I can reverse-engineer them and enable them from the driver. I wonder, though, what is the usual choice done for touchpad hardware on linux. Are we _always_ enabling all features, or is there a mechanism to enable them just on demand ? I have seen no such thing in the sources (haven't searched much either). This sort of touchpad includes features which can be an annoyance for people not used to them, so the choice of enabling everything is not necessarily the right one. E.g. my touchpad seems to have pinch-to-zoom functionality (not even tried). I don't exactly know to what this would map under linux, nor whether this stands a chance of working in the first place, but I presume not everyone would love this feature.

Dear Emmanuel Thomé, Thank you for your wonderful patch and works well on my 6230. Is there any way you could add middle click feature using a tap of 2 fingers once you get time?

[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others
Hi, I succeeded in reproducing the reverse engineering steps for the Dell E6230 touchpad. Here is an updated version of Dave's dkms module which is **ONLY** for the E6230. Starting from the init sequenced captured via qemu, I have tried to make some sense out of the commands. It seems that this init sequence is in fact quite different from that on the E6430 (which reports 73 03 0a on E7 report as well). At some point I thought that difference was related to the presence of a touchstick on 6430/6530 and not on 6230, but it seems to be more than that. Do not use this if you do not have the same hardware as me. I do not, at the moment, know how to distinguish between the dell E6430 and dell E6230 models. Using the newly built psmouse module, I can use the rightmost area of the pad to scroll, which is all I need. I don't know about other useful features, probably I would need to enable them from my windows VM before being able to see how they get initialized. This is something I can do, if deemed useful. It would be nice to tidy up this set of patches, in particular: (1) make the v5 and v6 init sequences more readable (2) differentiate between the various models (this applies to the models whose E7 report says 0x73 0x03 00x0a). Doing (1) is easy, but a test host is needed. Doing (2) requires some interaction with a user of such a platform. Volunteers ?

Looks like there are different versions of the touchpad on N5110. White the patch is working for most people, a few (including me) have experienced complete loss of functionality with this patch on N5110 On Fri, Nov 23, 2012 at 10:51 AM, Ahsan Raza <606...@bugs.launchpad.net>wrote: > Hello, > > I can confirm that the patch, psmouse-alps-dst-0.4 is working fine and > now i have following features on Dell Inspiron N5110: > > 1) Touch to Click. > 2) DIsable Touchpad While Typing. > 3) Two Finger Scrolls > 4) Edge Scroll > 5) Disable touchpad by FN+F3 > > > After installing the patch you might have sluggish TouchPad, to fix it, > open terminal and type: > > synclient AccelFactor=5 > synclient MaxSpeed=3 > > Reboot again, and it will be like Windows 7 like touchpad. > > (Tested in Linux Mint 12) > > Best, > > Ahsan > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 > > Title: > synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others > > Status in The Linux Kernel: > Fix Released > Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: > Fix Committed > Status in “linux” source package in Precise: > Fix Released > Status in “linux” source package in Quantal: > In Progress > Status in “linux” package in Arch Linux: > Fix Released > Status in openSUSE: > New > > Bug description: > It wrongly recognized as PS/2 Generic Mouse.
