Laptops which use newer Alps touchpad hardware may experience some lack of functionality as a result of a regression in the kernel psmouse driver — the touchpad is detected and works as a pointing device, but only functions with basic features. Scrolling, disabling tap-to-click, off when typing, and multi-touch (on supported devices) are some of the missing functionality.
![]() Hi Ahmad, First off, thanks for the contribution. All or most of the systems I have are Dell Latitudes and uses Alps touchpad, so this will be great solution if it could supports them. I have tested your version on V3 (Rushmore Variant). ID E7=0x73 0x03 0x0a, EC=0x88 0x08 0x22 The keyboard works, but not the touchpad or trackstick (not detected). Tested on El Capitan Beta by the way. The previously version I've been using works, it's the version by rehabman/bpedman/sontrg/npjohnson/yeahoon. Hopefully you can fix this, let me know what you need to help continue this effort. Also I have an Alps V7, would you be adding this in the future? Update: Also not detecting Touchpad for V3 (Rushmore Variant) ID = 0x73 0x03 0x0a, EC = 0x88 0x08 0x1d. Dell Alps Touchpad DriversI disabled the TrackStick code intentionally because I didn't like the way it was coded and didn't think anyone actually had it. I guess I'll re-enable it as-is for now and refactor later. As for adding V7, I'll try if there are enough people with the hw. It's a massive job of filtering out linux-specific code, refactoring for xcode, debugging and working around mac/xcode quirks. Update: Is the Trackstick on the same system with the Rushmore Touchpad? Anyway, here's an updated version with the trackstick code reenabled. If that works I'll push the fix to github. Both versions KP on system with V7, ID E7=0x73 0x03 0x0a, EC=0x88 0xba 0x2a - Keyboard/Trackstick works with new version, but still no touchpad for ID E7=0x73 0x03 0x0a, EC=0x88 0x08 0x22 (Rushmore) - Same system by the way The speed is crazy fast, had to set to 0 in System preferences. But still have some minor issue where the cursor won't stop at the target. You have to slowly move to get to the target. The middle scroll works pretty well. Double click have to be slow down as well. - Touchpad and Keyboard not working - V3 ID= E7=0x73 0x03 0x0a, EC=0x88 0x08 0x1d (no trackstick for this system) - Keyboard/Touchpad/trackstick work with V3 ID = E7=0x73 0x02 0x64, EC=0x88 0x07 0x9d Trackstick is again going too fast. If track speed set to 0, the touchpad speed is very slow. Thank you for the update - Still KP on the V7 system, could be because it's on El Capitan. - Trackstick speed is better, but now touchpad stopped working. I guess due to the speed. - New issue, when lift finger from the trackstick, the cursor jumped about an inch to the right diagonally upward Yes, the old kext from Yeahoon/Sontrg/bpedman works on all the models, the trackstick scrolling doesn't work for V7. Works quite well except double clicking is a bit annoying. Alps Touchpad Linux Driver For MacbookWhen you click on a file/folder, instead of selecting it, it double clicks it. I guess it's a bit sensitive or tapping speed is too fast. Never got the sorted out and Sontrg left the project. This is really strange because I haven't done much change to the way V1-V5 are detected/initialised. ![]() Alps Touchpad Linux Driver For Macbook ProI think I have an idea why trackstick scrolling is not working with bpedman's (or my) version. We'll get to that later. For this update: Reverted the detection/initialisation code back to latest bpedman code. Removed all the V6,7,8 code for now till I find a better way. Important: For Consumer Internal Hard Drives, Mobile and Desktop there are no firmware updates, as the latest Firmware is installed at manufacturing. For Enterprise Internal Hard Drives, please contact your sales representative, FAE, Distributor and or your OEM manufacture. Wd my book 1110 usb device drivers for mac.
