I have an acer 5750 everything working fine, minus the ps/2 port elan smart-pad but that was only for the first time recognized the trackpad or touchpad on Panel ... and still does not work, when I press with insistence appears kernel panic ..., but is a good start, after several searches and facilities Apple kexts ... ps2, ... nub etc.. but thanks to you I already powers start to celebrate! I look forward to the conclusion of the service! My congratulations and good WINS!

[mendietinha]

thanks cavandish for your work:
here is log and screen shut from my trackpad prefpane(its from your previuse release )

i miss this panel. here search for bluetooth trackpad and elan kext load, but does not move.

[Cyrus the Great]

i miss this panel. here search for bluetooth trackpad and elan kext load, but does not move.

my hardware version is 3 may you version is differ?

[gurzo]

ok, code compiled and works as aspected (nothing move). I can see "movement" in console log in real time.
Two or more finger give kernel panic.

Thx for your time ! I'm not a coder so I can't help you ;-(
Just "your" beta tester ;-)

See you soon, regards

Please search "ps2" in system.log in Console, thanks. Just didn't see your elan hardware version info.

[mendietinha]

the irony is: this is the best trackpad i ever use. in windows.

this is only not better than the macbook's multitouch trackpad from the unibody series.

and for over a year, has no support from the osx86 family. i have high expectations over this topic.

I don't know if this is against the forum rule or not.
I also don't know if pointing this finding will help with the driver development.
If it is inappropriate, tell me, I will come back and delete this.

I found a driver over at
http://www.osx86.net...2_trackpad.html

it is the only one that let me boot into 10.8 without kernel panic and have my Elan trackpad function as a mouse.

This thread is for building a new multitouch driver. I believe, in this thread, we all have the trackpad thinking its a mouse, but thanks all the same. If you happen to come across the Apple Trackpad driver source code, that would be a finding.

[francisjfl]

I installed these kexts(AS 5750) up here but it only worked once when restarted after accessing the partition windows stopped responding commands or went crazy, locking too.

[Cavendish Qi]

Just an update today, 1 finger movement and 1 finger taptoclick for v3 hardware. not very stable driver, kernel crash very often...

[waxfuzz]

I installed it on a 5750g for test it and it doesn¡t work


I have an Elan PS/2 port Smart-pad


I have ML and doesn't work for me

[bigwiz]

I installed it on a 5750g for test it and it doesn¡t work

It's only doing some work on the OSX 10.8 and it's not supposed to work yet.

[Cyrus the Great]

acer 5750G one finger movement and taptoclick work.
V3

[Cavendish Qi]

acer 5750G one finger movement and taptoclick work.
V3

Could you have a try with 2 fingers tap and give me the output? Thanks.

[Florin9doi]

How I test
0. build my code
1. I am using the AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext and ApplePS2Controller.kext(in /S/L/E) from Multi.Beast. 5.0.2, also included in attachement
2. remove the ApplePS2Mouse.kext and ApplePS2Trackpad.kext from /S/L/E/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins
3. copy the VoodooPS2ElanTrackpad.kext(for Xcode 4.4, it should be sth like ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/VoodooPS2-abcdefg....../Build/Products/Debug/VoodooPS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns) into above position, /S/L/E/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins
4. run Kext Utility to fix the permission and update the kernel cache.
5. reboot the machine

try this:

sudo kextunload /S/L/E/*/good_VoodooPS2ElanTrackpad.kext
   build a kext
+-> sudo chown -R 0:0 VoodooPS2ElanTrackpad.kext
|   sudo chmod -R 755 VoodooPS2ElanTrackpad.kext
|   sudo kextload VoodooPS2ElanTrackpad.kext
|   tail -f /var/log/system.log
|   test
|   sudo kextunload VoodooPS2ElanTrackpad.kext
|   sudo chmod -R 777 VoodooPS2ElanTrackpad.kext
+-< build a new kext

see this guys, I have some lags and the click and move doesn't works
But two fingers scroll works and the click too
