I've just recently bought a Pangolin Performance laptop from System 76. The machine is fantastic, though they insist upon installing Ubuntu on it. :-/ So I'm trying to get Fedora working. The only two snags seem to be the wireless and the touchpad. Camera and audio seem fine. The wireless was just a matter of installing iwl6000g2b-firmware. The touchpad is proving a bit more difficult. It appears to be detected just as a PS2 mouse. System 76 deal with this on Ubuntu by installing a kernel module via dkms. The source for the module is available here: http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 If I follow what the "System 76 Driver" does, then I do: cd /usr/src wget http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 tar -jxvf psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 dkms add -m psmouse -v elantech-v6 dkms build -m psmouse -v elantech-v6 all as root. Unfortunately, this last step fails. The log shows: > DKMS make.log for psmouse-elantech-v6 for kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 > (x86_64) > Thu Aug 4 21:28:57 EDT 2011 > make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64' > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse-base.o > /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse-base.c:862:3: > warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by > default] > /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse-base.c:862:3: > warning: (near initialization for ‘psmouse_protocols[10].detect’) > [enabled by default] > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/synaptics.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/alps.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/elantech.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/logips2pp.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/lifebook.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/sentelic.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/trackpoint.o > LD /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse.o > MODPOST 0 modules > make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64' It occurred to me that the problem might be the dkms.conf file: > PACKAGE_NAME="psmouse" > PACKAGE_VERSION="elantech-v6" > CLEAN="rm -f *.*o" > > BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="psmouse" > MAKE[0]="make -C $kernel_source_dir > M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src psmouse.ko" > BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="src" > DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates" > > AUTOINSTALL="yes" But I do not understand these files. For what it's worth, trying to run the make command manually as: > make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64/ > M=/var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/ psmouse.ko still gives the "MODPOST 0 modules" error. Can anyone help please? I'd much prefer to run Fedora on this thing....
