[Solved] Focaltech Touchpad Patch

paulherman · 2015-02-13 01:21:50

Hello!

Could someone point me on how to merge the patch for the Focaltech touchpad into the kernel? Below is the link to the git branch in which the driver was created. This seems to be merged in the linux-next branch of the kernel.

https://github.com/mgottschlag/linux/tree/focaltech3

Thank you!

Have you followed this?

If you don't want to build the whole kernel, you could also try an out-of-tree build of the module. By the way, I believe focaltech support is planned to be in 3.20.

svn export https://github.com/mgottschlag/linux/branches/focaltech3/drivers/input/mouse/
cd mouse
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD

I've bought a fresh new laptop, ASUS R510JK-XX142H which ships a FocalTech touchpad:

But @propagandy I believe we won't have Linux 3.19, will we? Methinks we'll get Linux 4.0 soon
So I'm ready to wait a little for that new branch. I hope it wil solve my touchpadbug~

We already have 3.19. The decision to change 3.20 to 4.0 was made after I wrote that post.

If you want to test now, you can get a compiled 4.0-rc5 kernel (linux-mainline) from miffe

Thanks for your reply.

It works fine for me So we just have to peacefully wait for Linux 4.0!

Hi,
Sorry but what name for the module & where?
Maybe some current kernel settings should be defined as modules?
[using gentoo here, so full customized slim kernel with almost no kernel modules]

Thks for your attention
