How do I get my system to use the patched version of hid-apple (Arch) #49

Closed Hubro closed 4 years ago

Hubro commented 5 years ago

I've installed this patch via AUR (hid-apple-patched-git-dkms) (CC @Aetf)

That included this config file (/etc/depmod.d/hid-apple-patched.conf):

override hid-apple * extra

As well as (/etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple_pclayout.conf):

options hid_apple fnmode=2
options hid_apple swap_fn_leftctrl=1
options hid_apple swap_opt_cmd=1
options hid_apple rightalt_as_rightctrl=1
options hid_apple ejectcd_as_delete=1

I ran sudo depmod -a and sudo mkinitcpio -p linux and rebooted.

Immediately the command and opt keys were swapped, and my F keys worked without having to hold fn, which is great. All the other options were ignored though, my fn key and control keys are not swapped. I can't set these settings under /proc, I just get access denied, even though I'm root.

That makes sense because apparently not all options are available:

 $ ls /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/
fnmode  iso_layout  swap_opt_cmd

Is this because my system is using the built-in version of hid-apple rather than the patched one? How can I know which one is being used?

(I'm using the wireless magic keyboard via Bluetooth, but I'm guessing that's not relevant.)

Here's the relevant lines from dmesg:

You are still using the builtin one. You will see all options under /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters if the patched one is being used.

You can check dkms status and see if the module is correctly compiled.

free5lot commented 5 years ago

Yes, @Aetf is right, you don't have patched version running. The options you have (fnmode, iso_layout, swap_opt_cmd) are from the original version. Patched version adds additional ones like swap_fn_leftctrl. So, try to find out why you don't have new version of kernel module loaded.

Thanks for the response. I can't seem to get dkms status to produce any output:

 $ dkms status
 $ sudo dkms status
 $ sudo dkms status hid-apple
 $ sudo dkms status hid-apple-patched
Aetf commented 5 years ago

Do you have dkms package correctly installed? Your kernel isn't the latest one. Probably you should do a full system upgrade first.

How did you install hid-apple-patched-git-dkms? Did it run successfully? There should be dkms hook triggered by installing the package, and you should see outputs like by the end of the installation.

==> dkms install hid-apple-patched/20170406.61dce7d -k 5.2.1-arch1-1-ARCH

Maybe you can try reinstall these two packages. Also see if there's anything in the Archlinux wiki will help.

Hubro commented 5 years ago

@Aetf Thanks, I figured it out. When I installed the package from AUR, it printed a line saying "missing kernel headers". I installed linux-headers and the DKMS hook immediately installed hid-apple-patched.

After rebooting, my Magic Keyboard is now handled by hid-generic... All of the improvements of the non-patched hid_apple disappeared.

Manually activating hid-apple by running sudo modprobe hid_apple, I now see all parameters available:

 $ ls /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/
ejectcd_as_delete  fnmode  iso_layout  rightalt_as_rightctrl  swap_fn_leftctrl  swap_opt_cmd

But none of the parameters affect my keyboard in any way. Is there any way to force hid_apple to handle my keyboard?

Here's my dmesg output now, when connecting the keyboard:

I did a full system update while I was at it.

Aetf commented 5 years ago

Hmm, I'm not an expert regarding this, but seems you can at least manually rebind the keyboard to use hid-apple like this. And see this: #48

Hubro commented 5 years ago

@Aetf Disappointment... :(

I could unbind successfully from hid_generic, but I couldn't bind to hid_apple, I just get an error:

 $ echo -n 0005:004C:0267.0003 | sudo tee /sys/bus/hid/drivers/apple/bind 
0005:004C:0267.0003tee: /sys/bus/hid/drivers/apple/bind: No such device

I also attempted the X config from issue #48, but it didn't affect my keyboard in any way, it still uses hid_generic.

So doesn't the patched driver support Bluetooth at all? Shouldn't it support it, considering the built-in hid_apple supports Bluetooth?

almson commented 4 years ago

You are connecting over Bluetooth. This currently doesn't work. You can use a USB cable.

48

free5lot commented 4 years ago

@Hubro now it should support Bluetooth (see #48, thanks to @almson with their PR #63). Please check it with your device.

free5lot commented 4 years ago

@Aetf as a maintainer of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hid-apple-patched-git-dkms/ could you please check current version and update AUR?

Aetf commented 4 years ago

Done. https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched/issues/57#issuecomment-606776408

free5lot commented 4 years ago

Thank you @Aetf.

This issue will be closed as solved soon if @Hubro is not going to provide any additional feedback.

Hubro commented 4 years ago

Thank you @Aetf.

Well it seems the conclusion is that this patched driver doesn't support Bluetooth, so I'm not sure there's any value in keeping this issue open :) Unless anyone intends to implement it.

almson commented 4 years ago

@Hubro The patched driver does support Bluetooth now.

It supports Bluetooth now. That's the point of bumping this ticket (reread my recent messages here). Please check the new version and if everything's fine the issue will be closed as solved.

Hubro commented 4 years ago

@almson @free5lot My bad, I'll give it a try as soon as I have time.

Hubro commented 4 years ago

@free5lot Had some time to test this today. I installed hid-apple-patched-git-dkms from AUR on kernel 5.6.3 and everything seems to work perfectly out of the box :) Command and alt is swapped, Ctrl and Fn is swapped, all F keys are F keys by default and the media keys work as expected by using the Ctrl key.

Awesome job!

EDIT:

... and everything seems to work perfectly out of the box ...

Except one small thing, the key to the right of my shift key is swapped with the key above my tab key. On my keyboard layout that means the < key and | keys are swapped. That's not relevant to this patch though.

free5lot commented 4 years ago

@Hubro nice it works for you.

Except one small thing, the key to the right of my shift key is swapped with the key above my tab key. On my keyboard layout that means the < key and | keys are swapped. That's not relevant to this patch though.

Try to change iso_layout option like that: echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout or echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout

If it fixes your issue you will be able to set this setting permanently in config.

That doesn't make any difference unfortunately :frowning_face:

p-himik commented 5 months ago

I'm now having this problem as well. The module is indeed installed, the kernel has loaded it - all the options are there. It's magically fixed by sudo modprobe -r hid_apple; sudo modprobe hid_apple.

usb-devices shows that the keyboard uses usbhid. I don't know whether it's relevant or not - none of the values change after the above command.
