RE: Trackpoint on Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th gen)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, Damjan,

Latest X1 Carbon system has two TrackPoint venders.
One is Alps, the other is Elantech. ( Touchpad is only Synaptics.)

To detect the device, we can send "E1" command by using pass-through.
The device response is as below.
If Alps, E1 -> 02
If Elantech, E1-> 01

It's a spec, but I have not checked it.

By the way, TrackPoint speed might be different between Alps and Elan.
And Middle Button Click behavior without a driver is the same as Mouse middle click.

Best Regards,
Masaki Ota

actually the touchpad seems to be recognized as
⎜   ↳ Synaptics TM3289-002                      id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]

and the other two ALPS devices are the trackpoint and its buttons (which I beleive are connected to the touchpad)

Is there anything else I can test?
