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

 

Ok, this from "old" post of mine (version 3, maybe) :

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.

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

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

V3

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

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

I'm testing that too , it is a good start

[mendietinha]

yes. i am using this kext now. its not so smooth but the 2 fingers scroll is a relief.

[bigwiz]

Going to test it today. Already asked to have a look at the source code.

Tested it. It's working fine but it needs to allow for calibration for the pressure needed to be perfect.

 

Waiting for the source code.

Latest

There is another work on the same topic in tonymacx86

I will have a try tonight or later.

Note: they released kexts for Lion and Mountain Lion, but without source code yet.

 

Tested. It works pretty good. Just folllow simple instructions.

It's not precise/confortable/configurable like winDOS drivers but it's good enought.

[bigwiz]

The new version was posted at tonymacx86

[Cavendish Qi]

his source code is available now, the link is in top post

Thanks a lot

[adisor19]

I second the requst.. I've been waiting for my registration confirmation for hours and still nothing. Can anyone upload it here at least for the time being ?

Hi,

 

I was actually referring to this file : ElanV4_1_8_2_beta.zip from the first post here : http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1948-elan-touchpad-driver-mac-osx/.

 

Can you upload it somewhere as well ?

 

Thanks,
