But, I'm hopeful we'll get a proper driver for i2c and be able to use the full capabilities in Linux soon.ĭoing more research, I found out that the clickpad is part of Synaptics' RMI4 line of products, and the latest kernels have driver support. This is not an ideal solution, because a PTP touchpad running over an i2c bus is capable of so much more than a simple PS/2 touchpad. The touchpad is working with the blacklist entry (and the touch screen continues to work as well).
I have this same laptop, and am going to attempt to install Linux Mint 17 (after I finish imaging the stock install with G4L) I will attempt the 'blacklist i2c-hid' solution/workaround described here: The attempt to work with the i2c device fails, but the device is stuck in i2c mode and won't respond to the Synaptics PS/2 driver. The problem here is that Linux is i2c-aware, but does not have the proper driver to get the HID report descriptor and other necessary data to work with the PTP device. In PS/2 mode, obviously, it works like a normal touchpad. Windows 8 (and other driver-supported OSes) use these points to either compute a relative mouse delta (single point) or gestures. In PTP mode (i2c), the device simply reports three to five individual X/Y coordinates for touch. But, they also have a required fallback to PS/2 mode, which allows them to work with non-i2c-aware OSes. The latest "Precision touch pad" (PTP) devices, which were developed according to Microsoft's PTP spec for Windows 8, are i2c devices. This won't help, but only to provide some info about what's happening. No numbers appeared when I tried to use the clickpad. ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=19 īefore I kicked Windows off the machine I powered it and the Touchepad works, it's not a hardware issue.
It does not respond at all.Īnd got this output: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Dell Inspiron 13 7000, everything works except the clickpad.
