Why can't I get my Sony Vaio Duo 13 touchpad to work?

I have a new Sony Vaio Duo 13. Sony support says it's a Synaptics touchpad. I have the drivers installed, but it seems like the device isn't even being recognized as a Synaptics device by the machine to begin with so the Synaptics settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf don't even matter at this point because X doesn't see any Synaptics device.

The solution at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107115 doesn't work for me.

Here's my dmesg output: https://www.refheap.com/20954
It mentions a mouse on line 570.

Here's my Xorg.0.log: https://www.refheap.com/20953
It mentions a mouse on lines 144 and 203.

There's no mention of synaptics in either.

The output of `synclient -l` is:

┌─[12:47:39/starlancer/root/~]
└─╼ synclient -l
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

Re: Why can't I get my Sony Vaio Duo 13 touchpad to work?

Hello.
I also have a VAIO Duo 13 and I'm not able to do Archlinux start.
A blank Screen appears when I try to load the liveCD.
Can you tell me how you've managed to boot the system?

Thnks,
Miguel.

Re: Why can't I get my Sony Vaio Duo 13 touchpad to work?

@LeugimSan I had the same problem. There seems to be a bug with gummiboot that leads you to a blank screen with the Sony Vaio Duo 13, even if you try nomodeset. To solve the problem, I created a customized, bootable USB stick with these general steps:

1. Create a  single GPT EFI System Partition (ESP) on the USB stick.
2. Extract the iso files from the install media and put them on the USB stick (mount the ESP first then copy/paste or use cp, etc).
3. Install Grub onto the USB stick.
4. Configure Grub settings to boot the install media kernel image. Make sure to use the nomodeset property on your kernel line.
5. After you've gotten the install media working, you can install Arch Linux to your main drive (the SSD), but you'll need to add a new menu option to your USB stick's Grub in order to chain load the main drive. I haven't found a way to get EFI boot working directly on the main drive yet as it seems Sony has some non-standard (undocumented) configurations in place. So, in other words, I can only boot Arch Linux on the main drive if my USB stick is plugged in, otherwise Sony's EFI BIOS will complain that no OS is found.

You'll have to consult the wiki for details on disk formatting, GPT, creating bootable usb sticks, Grub, etc. Another good place to get more info is in #archlinux on freenode, but read the wiki first, or you'll just get reminded to do so.

If worst comes to worst, I might find time to post up an iso image of my usb install media stick.

Please post your /proc/bus/input/devices file.

Re: Why can't I get my Sony Vaio Duo 13 touchpad to work?

Well, that is unfortunate.  I had hoped it would have been one of the event inputs that merely did not match the filters in the X configuration.  That we could have fixed.  No such luck sad

What is worse, it does not show up in any of the discoverable buses -- the PCI or the USB buses.  That means it exists on some non-discoverable bus -- perhaps on a legacy serial port in the EISA space down on the LPC bus; or on an SPI or i2C bus (like the SMB bus).  I am afraid that info is best acquired from the manufacturer.

Re: Why can't I get my Sony Vaio Duo 13 touchpad to work?

@ewaller Yeah. The built-in wifi card is on the new SDIO bus and it also doesn't appear anywhere, so I'm using a USB wifi dongle. Thanks for the suggestion: let me research and see if I can figure out what interface it's on.

Re: Why can't I get my Sony Vaio Duo 13 touchpad to work?

The touchpad works with CONFIG_I2C_HID enabled in the kernel (as does the touch screen and WLAN) at at least as in kernel 3.13. I'm tracking the hardware support here

Re: Why can't I get my Sony Vaio Duo 13 touchpad to work?

@agx, sweet. Would you mind updating the wiki page with info to help others? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sony_Vaio_Duo_13

Unfortunately I'm not on the VAIO Duo 13 any more, so I'm no longer working on linux for it.
