Subject: RE: Unknown ALPS touchpad

Hi, Pali,

I know these devices, and they are supported in new kernel.
I'm not sure when they are supported from.
In alps.c has below code.

static int alps_identify(struct psmouse *psmouse, struct alps_data *priv)
{...
...
		if (e7[0] == 0x73 && e7[1] == 0x03 && e7[2] == 0x50 &&
			   ec[0] == 0x73 && (ec[1] == 0x01 || ec[1] == 0x02)) {
			protocol = &alps_v5_protocol_data;
		} else if (ec[0] == 0x88 &&
			   ((ec[1] & 0xf0) == 0xb0 || (ec[1] & 0xf0) == 0xc0)) {
			protocol = &alps_v7_protocol_data;}
}

E7=73 03 50, EC=73 02 02 <- alps_v5_protocol_data
E7=73 03 0a, EC=88 b3 22 <- alps_v7_protocol_data
E7=73 03 0a, EC=88 b3 18 <- alps_v7_protocol_data

Best Regards,
Masaki Ota

Unknown ALPS touchpad: E7=73 00 14, EC=10 00 64

Should be supported since commit 95f75e91 which was introduced in Linux version v3.13-rc4.

Sorry, this one does not contain any useful information.

Masaki, can you look at those unknown ALPS touchpad identifiers and provide some information about protocol which they are using?

Basically touchpads with these identifiers are unsupported by last kernel version:

E7=73 03 50, EC=73 02 02
E7=73 03 0a, EC=88 b3 22
E7=73 03 0a, EC=88 b3 18
