Re: psm(4) support for Elantech touchpads
Matthias Apitz
I own an Acer C720 (aka Chromebook) which worked fine concerning the
touchpad with the cyapa driver in CURRENT. After a repair in Acer.com
they said that they have had to change the keyboard and the touchpad and
it now does not attach anymore to the cyapa.ko; it seems that it was
replace by an Elan TP and while googlöing for support I found your
posting from September 2015. I have applied the patch to r292778 but the
code is not walked through because it says on verbose boot:
atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
random: harvesting attach, 8 bytes (4 bits) from atkbd0
psm0: unable to allocate IRQ
Any ideas about this? Thanks in advance

Hi, Matthias
I`m afraid that device resource management is not what I`m familiar
with. Sorry.
Mouse type detection starts 200 lines below IRQ initialization so this
message should not depend on my patch.
Quick googling shows that this is most probably an ACPI issue but that
all I was able to find

After some investigations its turned out that some modern ElanTPs use
I2C interface not PS/2
so they can not be handled with my patch. Its necessary to port new
driver from Linux
https://lwn.net/Articles/496137/ or from OpenBSD where it has name
imt(4)

Thanks for your hint. I have to admit, that the idea it is an 'elan'
touchpad is at the moment only a guess. As I said, the Acer C720 was at
Acer.com for repair an issue with the touchpad and they changed the keyboard
and touchpad (this is an visible fact). ChromeOS was working with it but the call in
our FreeBSD src/sys/dev/cyapa/cyapa.c:
...
static int
cyapa_probe(device_t dev)
{
struct cyapa_cap cap;
int addr;
int error;
addr = smbus_get_addr(dev);
/*
* 0x67 - cypress trackpad on the acer c720
* (other devices might use other ids).
*/
device_printf(dev, "cyapa_probe(): addr %02x\n", addr);
if (addr != 0x67)
return (ENXIO);
...
now returns 0x15 and not 0x67, and so the cyapa.ko does not attach anymore
not even when I change the test to 0x15, which leaded to the guess of Elan TP.
I will try to make some NetBSD or OpenBSD USB boot key to first verify
what we do have here as hardware. Or any other idea to figure out, what
Acer now installed?
Thanks
matthias

I'm on an ASUS ZenBook UX305CA and have the same problem with the
trackpad. I'm pretty sure it's an ElanTech as well, however the IRQ
cannot be allocated. I'd like to help out but I have no idea how
anything outside userspace works. Any suggestions for how to help? I'm
so ignorant I'm not even sure how to go about porting something from
another OS over.

I'd like to try to port this driver over to FreeBSD, does anyone have
any suggestions of something to read or willing to help mentor me in
that? I know nothing about doing this but would really like to get my
Trackpad working!

Did you ever have any luck with this?
