Progress - drivers/input/mouse/alps.c

enable DEBUG, reports on probing:
Feb  9 21:29:05 atrium kernel: [18446744060.802712] alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64

patching as a first guess with alps00.patch makes alps driver recognize the 
touchpad,
registers two input devices
- AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint
- PS/2 Mouse

unfortunately, only plain PS/2 events on the latter arrive, tested with "xinput 
test".

Sent request to ALPS:
I intend to update the linux driver for ALPS Glidepoint devices to support the 
recent
touchpads as the one built into the Sony VAIO VPCF115FM. To an "E7" information
request, it reports as 73-02-64 (hex). Could you provide me details on the PS/2
protocol used by that device such that I can implement specific support in the 
linux
kernel driver? Currently, the touchpad is only supported as a plain PS/2 mouse 
which
leaves much of its functionality and its settings unused.

any progress on this issue?

I bought a vaio VPCF11S1E these days and I have the same issues with the 
touchpad.
Strange enough, ubuntu seems to have released a fix in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/545307 but things still do 
not
work on my machine (the kernel version matches though)

After upgrading the kernel I can see a touchpad tab in mouse settings, but the 
touchpad isn't actually configurable regardless of what is selected on that tab.

And even worse, with the old kernel I had edge scrolling just of the box, but 
with the 
new one it is gone, no matter if I enable or disable it on settings tab.

I confirm the very same behavior as described by shandyba on my VPCF11C5E with 
Lucid
Beta1 (kernel 2.6.32-19-generic-pae).

Yeah, after upgrading to Lucid I don't even have edge scrolling any more... Any 
tips?

The issue's still not fixed, but it looks like some kernel versions of lucid 
bring 
edge scrolling back again. I didn't try these kernels though (and didn't find 
them in 
a quick search):

I third that. I keep trying to scroll to no avail lol... It's frustrating. 
Other than 
that, (and of course hibernation/suspend not working) lucid lynx seems to work 
very 
well.

hmmm.. hibernate and suspend work with my VPCF11S1E. Not with yours?

I *wish* hibernate and suspend worked. Actually, they work just fine, It's just 
that
you never get the display back after resuming.

If you want at least a working horizontal scrolling under Lucid, you have to 
upgrade
the kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/

Original comment by kilo...@gmail.com on 18 May 2010 at 11:41

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

an easy workaround to have vertical scrolling back is the following:

add the following to */etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf*

<snip>
options psmouse proto=imps
</snip>

Wow, brilliant, vertical scrolling working perfectly again, thanks!
Horizontal scrolling isn't as important to me, I think I'll just wait until 
kernel
2.6.34 makes it into the official release.

In the last comment (n. 13) I wrote that with the new kernel 2.6.34 you can 
have a
working "horizontal" scrolling, but unfortunately it is not true. It just 
enables
vertical scrolling, I wasn't pay attention while I was writing...
Sorry!

Excellent, many thanks @andre.dietisheim and @Treenaks from #ubuntu-uk IRC who
pointed me to this thread. I was ready to send back my new Sony PVCEC1S1E ... 
Now the
vertical scrolling works, and I never cared for two-finger or horizontal 
scrolling to
be honest.

This is driving me crazy because there's no way to disable the touchpad while 
typing
such as 'syndaemon -td' So I keep making mistakes typing by accidentally 
touching the
touchpad.

I want to disable the touchpad completely and just use a mouse, but I can't 
figure
out how to do this in Ubuntu. Any help would be appreciated!

ok, in reply to above I figured it out myself. sudo rmmod psmouse does the trick
nicely when I need to type something and not worry about the touchpad. I hope 
this
issue gets sorted out in the future though.

I have the new Vaio F12 and found that the touchpad did not work at all out of 
the box under Fedora 13. After a lot of searching I found that adding 
"i8042.nopnp" to the kernel parameters restored functionality to the touchpad.

Original comment by ESC...@gmail.com on 4 Jul 2010 at 12:42

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Can anyone with the F11 verify that ESC201's fix works? Does it enable all of 
the touchpad's features and alpspointer controls?

I own a VPCF11C5E. Touchpad had basic functionalities working out of the box 
since the first installation of Fedora 13, although wrongly recognised as PS/2 
Wheelmouse as the Issue title specifies. 
Using the parameter "i8042.nopnp" didn't change anything. Touchpad still has 
only basic functionalities (no horizontal scrolling, no circular scrolling, no 
multifinger) and it is still recognised as PS/2 Wheelmouse

Hey... just tried megari shell script.
It works perfectly. I just combined it with some xfce shortcuts and now I can 
use it like a "touchpad off"-Button you can find on Toshiba Laptops.

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi, I have an Vaio VPCF12Z1E.
Alps multi-touchpad is not seen at all, not even by kernel 2.6.35.2.
There is no "touch pad tab" in mouse settings.
Do you have any idea about this?

Note: I have Fedora 13 with kernel 2.6.35.2
Thanks

Hello, I have a Gateway NV79C34u. Great laptop with a Core i5 CPU. However, the 
touchpad appears to suffer from the same issues described above. Shows up as 
generic PS2 mouse.  It is supposed to be an ALPS touchpad. I can't type without 
the cursor jumping between the text. I have been wrestling with this for hours. 
Not sure what to do. The touchpad performs the basic functions of a mouse. All 
I want to do is disable tapping. Same behavior in Ubuntu 10.04 as well as 
Fedora 13. Any ideas?

It seems people with Vaio F12 series laptops are suffering from problems. I 
myself have a VPC-F12S1E and I believe the sister models VPC-F12M1E and 
VPC-F12Z1E should be very similar.

In order to get events from the mouse, the following line needs to be added to 
/etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.nopnp"

Don't ask me why, as I don't know the answer.

Although a bit off-topic in this particular bug, I have also attached a 
document which covers various issues with Vaio F12 laptops and Ubuntu Lucid. 
Hopefully it will be useful for users of other distributions as well. I give my 
full permission to do whatever you want to do with it.

With the i8042.nopnp fix, I think it acts like a normal mouse rather than a 
real touchpad.
