 |
|
Greetings to All,
I'm looking for information about how to get a FocalTech touchpad to be detected not only for mouse emulation mode.
xinput:
| Code: |
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
↳ PS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad in mouse emulation mode id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
|
(3.19.2-gentoo)
Thankful for any help! |

Hi,
According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193593 & elsewhere, driver could be in next kernel branch.
I"m in the same situation with an Asus K550CA. 
Seems possible to compile a driver manually. Don't know how though. 
Thks 4 ur attention. |

I've got an Asus TP300LA that has a FocalTech touchpad as well, it has been working (sort of) in PS/2 emulation mode (no multitouch, etc.).
FYI, I've just tried gentoo-sources-4.0.0 where a FocalTech touchpad kernel option has been added. However, for me this kernel makes the touchpad stop working at all. Although, it shows up in xinput --list without PS/2 emulation mode stated, which is promising
| Code: | xx@xx ~ $ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Atmel id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ USB2.0 UVC HD Webcam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]

Any clues for getting it to work? I haven't given it too much thought yet and may have missed something obvious, like having synaptics enabled in INPUT_DEVICES (should it be enabled?), or similar... |

Thanks for the hint about 4.0.0!
Updating the kernel at least enabled two finger scrolling (with synaptics enabled). Tripple/middle-button click does not work at the moment but I guess that's a configuration detail. I'll post my settings if I get everything to work. |

Hi,
Did the 4.0.0 kernel update as well.
My old laptop died 2 months ago.
HD migrated into new laptop with this FocalTech TouchPad which broke the former working Synpatics Touchpad.
The latter was working for 2 fingers scrolling 2 & 3 fingers tapping, and maybe more... (have'nt checked yet,but as far as I remember I even didn't changed or moved de synaptics config file)
The new touchpad also started to work the same way with new kernel.
Thks 4 ur attention.

| I'm using XFCE 4.12 (with kernel 4.0.0 and evdev+synaptics as input devices) and for me both 2 finger tap (=right click) and 3 finger tap (=workspace selector, a previously unknown function to me...) works after enabling "tap touchpad to click" in mouse and touchpad settings. I haven't investigated where to (re-)configure it though. But, this shows at least that the touchpad driver can distinguish three fingers all right! |
