Felipe, I just moved to Ubuntu's Intrepid and couldn't get it to work. Instead I'm using the bcm5974 drivers too. However, I agree that it doesn't work as well as touchd. Unfortunately, I have a lot of other things I need to spend my time on. It'd be great to get it working. ~Scott Felipe Sere wrote: > Hi Scott, > > As I had issues getting touchd to work, plus the fact that I started > University and had little time, I had given up on touchd. > I did manage to get the bcm5974 driver to work though, but it does not > offer the functionality of touchd.

Hi Scott, As I had issues getting touchd to work, plus the fact that I started University and had little time, I had given up on touchd. I did manage to get the bcm5974 driver to work though, but it does not offer the functionality of touchd. So I will give it another shot. My question is: is the project still alive? -- Felipe Sere |

On Tuesday 29 July 2008, you wrote: > I just tried openusb from subversion and it still worked. How new is > the laptop? > ~Scott It's pretty new -- about a month old I'd say. I would still think that openusb would find it though, as it's searching the right vendor string. The call that's dying seems to be the one trying to get a list of the devices with that vendor ID, not when it actually goes through that list and tries to find the touchpad. I'm happy to help debug however I can, so let me know what I can do. Thanks, Jeff |

Jeff, I'm still using revision 138 but will update to see if mine still works.

Hello, I'm using touchd alpha3 with openusb r152 (from today). I have a penryn MBP. When I try to start touchd I get: ** ERROR **: OpenUSB devid find failure: Can not find bus or device aborting... I have verified through lsusb that my device does start with 05ac (it's 05ac:0230). So the call seems like it should work. Thanks, Jeff |

Hello Scott, thanks for the reply, and for telling you plans with touchd. May I use this your email address in the credit list for the driver submitted to kernel.org?

Hi all, Thats cool that a kernel driver is getting created. I think only time will tell which is the best way of doing things. I use touchd everyday and have no problems. I think that its architecture is expandable when better hardware comes along but until then I don't have much motivation to do more. Its totally possible to use a kernel module with touchd but it would need some rework. I don't mind if discussions of other ways of doing it exist. It makes it easier for me to follow. :-) I have an internship this summer so I won't be doing much on touchd. I also have other projects that have been on my mind more. Ultimately, I hope that touchd help move things along. It works for me and thats what I need. What happens next is not much of a concern for me. Keep up the good work. I'll definitely be following along and giving my feedback. Cheers, Scott P.S. I think your messages are getting caught because the email is not subscribed to the list. I'm a bit slow on letting them through.

I've been working with Matthew Garrett to create a multitouch-enabled kernel module, you can check out what's been done so far here: http://www.firewing1.com/downloads/airtouch-semiworking.tar.bz2 I've named it "semiworking" because although it does load and work, the touchpad is very jumpy and if you try it you'll see there are a few major problems that still have to be worked out. The way it works is it maps each finger as a separate input which will allow for multitouch gestures or detection of up to 12 fingers. To install it, just extract, run "make" and "insmod airtouch.ko". If you are loading it after usbhid has been loaded (this is the case for Fedora systems as usbhid isn't compiled as a module), unbind the trackpad before loading airtouch like this: # echo '7-2:1.2' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind This will work on the MacBook Pros (ANSI model), for the MacBook Air it might a different USB id. BTW - Scott, if you'd like for this driver to become a part of touchd I'll be happy to help with further development. My goal is to have this driver functional and included in the upstream kernel as soon as it's usable :) Regards, Stewart |

Oh wow, I was not aware that someone already wrote a kernel module driver for the multitouch trackpads! Good work Henrik!

Hey Felipe, Yes you have bcm5974 : http://web.comhem.se/rydberg/Bits/ which is a attempt to do a Synaptic driver for X11. It seems to work but on MacBook Pro I think it need an awful lot of tuning because it is quite unusable. Other than that I was talking of the specific input hardware of Macs is general (keyboard and trackpad). For the keyboard specific keys you have pommed as well. Which does the keyboard back lighting as well (at least when it works :o) ) That's why I was wondering if we could approach these other projects to avoid re-inventing the wheel...

Hey Scott, Sorry I have been busy lately and couldn't find time for touchd. I tested bsm5974 last night and I guess it needs more tuning for the MacBookPro because it was totally unusable... For me touchd is still the best option available. I tried the new version of pommed as well but I still can't get it to work, I have the weirdest error message... My only concern is that there is too many implementation of the same thing. Maybe we could get in touch(d) :o) with all these projects to have a single implementation of multitouch that just works(tm). I need to test more the alpha 3 with suspend/resume but so far the script you sent me weren't working with alpha2.

Hi Alex and Henrik, Like I told Alex, yeah I struggled on where to put things. For me it works fine. The multimedia keys are working for me because I have them configured as hotkeys. The only thing not working that way is keyboard backlighting. I really intend on writing a daemon to auto adjust that stuff but have not done it. As far as multitouch things go, much more work has been done through MPX and NUI stuff. Touchd is useful if Apple comes out with cooler multitouch hardware. I'll cross my fingers. ~Scott Alex Karpenko wrote: > Hello Henrik, > > I'm in the same boat as you.

Hello Henrik, I'm in the same boat as you. It was a tossup for me between having my media keys work, or having the touchpad work fully (since touchd overrides the keyboard driver as you mentioned). Since I mostly use an external mouse I went for the former. I've already talked to Scott about this, however I'll repost my thoughts for others too see (note I'm by no means an expert on this part of the kernel so the following could be misguided advice)... I think the cleanest way to do this is to put some (or all) of the code into a kernel module, much the same way that the previous appletouch driver did it (see drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.c). As you should see from the code, the driver registers itself with a particular interface on the device using the probe of the usb_driver interface (see http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux-mandocs/2.5.70/usb_driver.html). That way the kernel will only forward packets coming from the touchpad to the touchd driver, leaving the keyboard driver to do its own thing. Of course the most difficult question is what parts of touchd should go into the kernel module. Should all of it be handled in the kernel? Should the driver simply provide an interface to the events that a user level app can interpret? I frankly have no idea, and Scott indicated that he too struggled with finding what the best place was for the touchd code. My suggestion is to get on the linux-kernel mailing list and contact someone who makes the calls in that area of the linux source (you can also look at the source itself for contacting the appropriate maintainers). Scott, you're doing some fundamental work as multitouch interfaces seem to be the next big thing, and Linux should definitely not fall behind here. Hence if you can get some guidance/approval of the higher up chain of command, this will have a greater chance of getting into the source tree.

Hello Scott,
I have been following the development of touchd with interest. It seems
to me that one of the major hurdles in building this driver is the
somewhat complex relationship between the keyboard interface (USB
interface 0, endpoint 0x83) and the proprietary multitouch interface
(USB interface 1, endpoint 0x81). As far as I understand, there is no
known way to initialize the multitouch without also altering the
keyboard interface, resulting in extra work just getting the keyboard to
work properly. In fact, the keyboard mapping is what is currently
stopping me from using the touchd driver on my MacbookAir. It would of
course be great if the multitouch could be initialized without affecting
the keyboard interface - the question is whether this is possible. Do
you know?
In order to get the multitouch going, this seems to be the (as of yet)
minimal configuration necessary:
1. claim interface 0, normally acting as a HID keyboard
2. claim interface 1, normally acting as an unknown HID touchpad
3. configure interface class:
usb_control_msg(udev,0x21,0x09,0x0300,0,{0x01,0x05},2,100)
The multitouch is now available on endpoint 0x81. It is *not* possible
to omit step 1, which would be desired. I suspect you already tried this
extensively.
I understand 3) is a set-interface-class command, I do not understand
what 0x0300 means, I suspect interface zero is called, and I do not know
what {0x01,0x05} means. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Henrik Rydberg
ps. on a separate note, I suspect interface 2, which acts as a perfectly
normal mouse, could be configured to show features such as double-click
and two-finger scrolling. ds.

Congrats on the new alpha. Works great!
When I ran touchd_icon.py out of the box I got an error about "No module
named multitouch". But, commenting out the line in preferences.py works.

Hi all, I just released alpha 3. It features support for finding multiple product ids, configuration through a gui and trackpad locking while typing to name a few of the things I changed.

Yeah, you need to add a file allowing touchd access to the system bus. This is done by copying the touchd.conf file in the tarball (I think) to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ . Thats excellent you are writing a how-to. Let me know if you have any issues. ~Scott Dave York wrote: > Shawn, > > I am having trouble getting touchd to start... > > output: > > d4v3y0rk@41r:~/touchd-alpha2/src$ ./touchd > ** (process:6029): DEBUG: Running touchd version alpha 2. > ** (process:6029): DEBUG: Connecting to the Session D-Bus. > ** (process:6029): DEBUG: Registering the well-known name > (org.tannewt.touchd). > > ** ERROR **: D-Bus.RequestName RPC failed: Connection ":1.43" is not > allowed to own the service "org.tannewt.touchd" due to security > policies in the configuration file. > aborting... > Aborted > > Any ideas as to why? > > I am trying to write a step by step guide on how to get this running > on ubuntu 8.04. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > Dave York > d4v...@gm... <mailto:d4v...@gm...> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. > It's the best place to buy or sell services for > just about anything Open Source. > http://sourceforge.net/services/buy/index.php > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Touchd-devel mailing list > Tou...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/touchd-devel > |

Shawn, I am having trouble getting touchd to start... output: d4v3y0rk@41r:~/touchd-alpha2/src$ ./touchd ** (process:6029): DEBUG: Running touchd version alpha 2. ** (process:6029): DEBUG: Connecting to the Session D-Bus. ** (process:6029): DEBUG: Registering the well-known name (org.tannewt.touchd). ** ERROR **: D-Bus.RequestName RPC failed: Connection ":1.43" is not allowed to own the service "org.tannewt.touchd" due to security policies in the configuration file. aborting... Aborted Any ideas as to why? I am trying to write a step by step guide on how to get this running on ubuntu 8.04. Thanks in advance. -- Dave York d4v...@gm... |

Thats one thing I hope to do this weekend.

They don't have a lot of effect. However, they could effect performance so I bound them to the UI. Perhaps I will hide them by default when I finish the preferences dialog. > I had not tried python files has under kde i had no pygkt, but now > it's installed, nice i could have number 10 displayed on the hand (for > eleven i don't have so much fingers!) > Thats true. Its all doable with qt but I'm running a gnome system so I'm using gtk. |
