4.x kernel support #4

Closed pvdz closed 8 years ago

pvdz commented 8 years ago

Any chance you could port this to support 4.x kernels? The latest is fine for me (most, probably).

Also thanks for putting this up in the first place.

Focaltech touchpads are supported by Linux kernels since 4.1. The code has been commited upstream.

If by support you mean "recognized as a mouse", then sure and I'm sorry for wasting your time.

As it stands "our" particular model is only recognized as a regular mouse. We can click and double click but there's no standard touch support. See the linked bug threads for similar reports.

What is "your" particular model? Why do you think it is a Focaltech? All code that is used here works in mainline kernels. If you have some other touchpad, then how is it related?

Does "your particular model" work with this code?

hanipouspilot commented 8 years ago

The bug links you gave show that the issue is with some new i2c touchpad. It is not supported yet. Why people cal it Focaltech, I have no idea.

Hm, actually... you may be on to something here. I was going by the many replies (since linux inspection did not show that). But now you mention it I stumble on this pdf which lists the PNPid's for companies. "FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd." is FTS while FTE is for "Frontline Test Equipment Inc."

Thanks for the insight!

Anyway the code here and in the kernel is for PS/2 Focaltech touchpads with PNP ids FLT0101-FLT0103. Your touchpad is not related at all. You can stop searching since there is no support for it anywhere till someone writes a driver.
