Missing docs? - Githubissues

seefood commented 7 years ago

Installed the deb, insmoded the ko, the pad is still just a point and click, no genstures, right click or scrolling. what else is missing? does it need touchegg? any other settings?

robbi5 commented 7 years ago

Installing the deb, rebooting and maybe executing the xinput-command from the readme are all the steps that I needed to do.

Maybe some versions on your system are different? What OS, Kernel-Version, ... are you using?

ira-lb commented 7 years ago

It wasn't playing ball on 16.04 and I left it aside. this weekend I tried again, since upgrading to 17.04, and it's still the same (USB and BT, same results)

ira-lb commented 7 years ago

(that's me from my work user, sorry :)

nilesingalls commented 7 years ago

ubuntu 16.04 - I've got scrolling (yay!), but I lost right click. any pointers?

bithooked commented 7 years ago

On Arch (well, specifically Manjaro) I have the opposite problem. Works over bluetooth. Click works brilliantly. Unfortunately multitouch - including scrolling and right click - doesn't work at all.

minodisk commented 7 years ago

On Kernel 4.4.0-57-generic on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I tried sh scripts/post-install.sh and xinput set-prop "bcm5974" "Synaptics Finger" 0 10 0.

Works:

Left click by pressing hard with one finger
Right click by pressing hard with two fingers
Scroll by swiping with two fingers (not pressing)

Doesn't work:

Left click by tapping with one finger
Right click by tapping with two fingers

It's not perfect but it seems to work quite nice feeling :heart:

purpleP commented 7 years ago

Can somebody say how to install it on ubuntu 17.04? Or at least what exactly steps should be and what they do?

ponyfleisch commented 7 years ago

@bithooked you're likely running hid-generic instead of this driver.

chenliushan commented 7 years ago

Appreciate for this work. But after I have installed the deb and reboot, I found that all keyboard, mouse, and trackpad2 does not work. Does anyone has met this situation?

By the way here is the output I get when I installed the deb.

Is this abandoned? No updates for Ubuntu Artful and onwards?

chriszrc commented 6 years ago

@purpleP Here's what I had to do on a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04

#install fpm https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-fpm-to-easily-create-packages-in-multiple-formats
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ruby-dev build-essential
$ sudo gem install fpm
$ git clone [the repo url]
$ cd magictrackpad2-dkms
$ make
$ cd build
$ sudo dpkg -i ./magictrackpad2-dkms_1.0.0_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get install -f
# then a full reboot

bithooked commented 6 years ago

That did not work on Ubuntu 17.10, fwiw. The apt-get install -f step returns an error:

if anyone is using ubuntu 17, https://github.com/rozza/magictrackpad2-dkms/tree/artful

seefood commented 6 years ago

Thanks! I'm on 18.04 of course, but I see there'a a branch for that too. Running out to try it.

Nope, on latest 18.04.1 it fails on multiple missing members of some structs, I'll try to patch it, though C is not my forte...

chenliushan commented 6 years ago

@seefood This one (https://github.com/robotrovsky/Linux-Magic-Trackpad-2-Driver) works fine on Ubuntu 18.04.

seefood commented 6 years ago

Thanks, though it's for kernel 4.18, not the standard 4.15 that comes in Ubuntu 18.04 :)

I guess I'll take it, I'll just upgrade the kernel without waiting for Ubuntu...
