2014-06-18Input: elantech - fix touchpad initialization on Gigabyte U2442Hans de Goede
commit 36189cc3cd57ab0f1cd75241f93fe01de928ac06 upstream. The hw_version 3 Elantech touchpad on the Gigabyte U2442 does not accept 0x0b as initialization value for r10, this stand-alone version of the driver: http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 Uses 0x03 which does work, so this means not setting bit 3 of r10 which sets: "Enable Real H/W Resolution In Absolute mode" Which will result in half the x and y resolution we get with that bit set, so simply not setting it everywhere is not a solution. We've been unable to find a way to identify touchpads where setting the bit will fail, so this patch uses a dmi based blacklist for this. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61151 Reported-by: Philipp Wolfer <ph.wolfer@gmail.com> Tested-by: Philipp Wolfer <ph.wolfer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2011-09-09Input: elantech - add v4 hardware supportJJ Ding
v4 hardware is a true multitouch capable touchpad (up to 5 fingers). The packet format is quite complex, please see protocol document for reference. Signed-off-by: JJ Ding <jj_ding@emc.com.tw> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2011-09-09Input: elantech - add v3 hardware supportJJ Ding
v3 hardware's packet format is almost identical to v2 (one/three finger touch), except when sensing two finger touch, the hardware sends 12 bytes of data.

2011-09-09Input: elantech - correct x, y value range for v2 hardwareJJ Ding
x, y values are actually 12-bit long. Also update protocol document to reflect the change. Signed-off-by: JJ Ding <jj_ding@emc.com.tw> Acked-by: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@chromium.org> Acked-by: Éric Piel <eric.piel@tremplin-utc.net> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2011-05-16Input: elantech - describe further the protocolÉric Piel
For some Dell laptops, Ubuntu had a special version of the elantech driver with more knowledge on the devices. It can be found there: http://zinc.ubuntu.com/git?p=mid-team/hardy-netbook.git;a=blob;f=drivers/input/mouse/elantech.c;h=d0e2cafed162428f72e3654f4dda85e08ea486b3;hb=refs/heads/abi-22 By inspecting the source code, and doing some test on a real hardware, I have completed the protocol specification (especially for the 6 bytes protocol). It also adds information about the mapping between the version reported by the device and the protocol to use.

2010-05-03Input: elantech - ignore high bits in the position coordinatesFlorian Ragwitz
In older versions of the elantech hardware/firmware those bits always were unset, so it didn't actually matter, but newer versions seem to use those high bits for something else, screwing up the coordinates we report to the input layer for those devices.

2008-10-16Input: psmouse - add support for Elantech touchpadsArjan Opmeer
This is version 5 of the driver. Relative mode support has been dropped (users wishing to use touchpad in relative mode can use standard PS/2 protocol emulation done in hardware). The driver supports both original version of Elantech protocol and the newer one used by touchpads installed in EeePC.
