Trouble finding device file on X30-E

[charliebarber]

Thanks for taking the time to create this. I have a Portégé X30-E-12W with Manjaro installed. I'm having a bit of trouble finding the device file for the accupoint as it is not located in hidraw0. Would you happen to know where to look/how to find it?

xinput shows the SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as well as a Virtual core pointer, which I'm guessing is the accupoint

Thank you for your question!

On my machine xinput gives me this:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Siliconworks SiW HID Touch Controller     id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ TOSB1004:00 06CB:CDDC Mouse               id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ TOSB1004:00 06CB:CDDC Touchpad            id=13   [slave  pointer  (2)]

I'm definitely know that TOSB1004:00 06CB:CDDC Mouse is my accupoint, but I've no clue how it can help me to find dev file.

I've found device file it by running

$ ls /dev/hidraw*
/dev/hidraw0  /dev/hidraw1  /dev/hidraw2

And after that just testing every device if it generates some output when I touch accupoint

$ sudo cat /dev/hidraw0 
���������������� 

"?" symbols are generated only when I touch accupoint.

So after now I can run sudo ./accupoint -d -t 200ms -p /dev/hidraw0

Do not forget sudo since only super user can read hidraw* files

My xinput gets me this:

    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Toshiba input device                      id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]

It seems like the OS isn't recognizing the AccuPoint at all. Libinput also doesn't show it either. Perhaps it's a kernel or even BIOS related thing. What kernel are you on?

Now I'm on 5.9.6, but I've got this fix working on X30-F since 5.7.x versions.

I'm regularly update kernel and waiting for a fix, but no one is working on it =( Unfortunately I've got no skills and no time to fix this in kernel.

P.S. If it's not bother you, write in this thread that you are affected with this bug on your X30-E https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205817
