New VoodooPS2Controller, Keyboard, Trackpad (ClickPad support)

[RehabMan]

Hi,

the recent VoodooPSController is working fine with my Sony VAIO F11.

The only problems I have:

- mouse pointer speed on touchpad move is way too slow
- Side "scrollwheel" is way too fast

How can I set the speeds properly? Where is a documentation about that? Or do I have to bin-patch something?

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Eh man! I asked about available options in YOUR VoodooPS2Controller, esp. mouse pointer speed and "mouse wheel" side area speed.

No need to browse my whole config!

Please, c'mon don't always throw in that standard answer. I am using the recent VoodooPS2Controller form your github.


EDIT: Is it this parameter?

Must first verify you actually have Synaptics hardware.
No problem reporting files attached... so no possible way to verify that.
If you want my help, you must do things my way.
Your choice.

Some of the settings you're asking about are changed in SysPrefs (Trackpad, Accessibility).
But if you installed things incorrectly, you won't be able to access them...

That is for devices that send mutliplexed mouse packets mixed in with the trackpad data, such as devices which have a trackpoint.

Ok,

it loads these kexts:

In the ioreg (attached below) I only find "PS2Mouse" devices, but no "PS2Trackpad", if I search for "ps2".

So I assume we are looking at "org.rehabman.voodoo.driver.PS2Mouse" instead.

In the Info.plist of that driver, under IOKitPersonalities/ApplePS2Mouse/Platform Profile/Default" I found these values:

ActLikeTrackpad = NO
ButtonCount = 2
DefaultResolution = 240
ScrollResolution = 5

How do I have to set these values, if I want to
- speed up mouse pointer movement
- slow down wheel scrolling border
- enable double-finger-tap for right click
?

EDIT: nvm, found good values now, see ApplePSMouse plugin in VoodooPSControlller here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-sierra-macosx-10-12-6-on-sony-vaio-f11.242544/

If you're seeing VoodooPS2Mouse in ioreg, it means your trackpad is not Synaptics.
You can set ActLikeTrackpad (via ACPI) to get more "trackpad" features from the mouse kext, but it is no substitute for a PS2 kext specific to your trackpad hardware.

Hey there! Can anyone tell me how I can adjust settings of the VoodooPS2 kext? I want the scroll speed to be faster, it's very slow right now on my dell 7559...

If 10.12.x or later:
SysPrefs->Accessibility->Mouse & Trackpad

If 10.11.x or earlier:
SysPrefs->Trackpad

Can't adjust scroll speed there...

Wrong. Scrolling speed *is* there in 10.13.x (and probably 10.12.x).
For earlier versions it is in SysPrefs->Trackpad.

SysPrefs->Mouse also might have an effect.

Also, you can tweak MultiFingerVerticalDivisor and MultiFingerHorizontalDivisor just as I did for the u430
(look in SSDT-HACK.dsl in my u430 repo).

Hi, I just finished installing Mac Os 10.12.6 on HP Book 15 G1 thanks to Yours (RehabMan) scripts thank You very much .
All is working except for trackpoint/touchstyk/pointstick it's a Synaptics PS2 device and it's supposed to act like mouse joystick, but instead it's sometimes scroll web pages or sometimes even send a mouse button events to system.
For me and I think few more people trakpoint is only "mobile" mouse I "know how" to use.

I don't understand why it's acting like that, your kext is able to drive Lenovo's Synaptics Tracepoints, and I don't know how and why HP's are different


I know you don't support trakpoints but can you tell me what you think about what is going on and tell me where to look for fix (how to debug the kext, what part of code makes this things). Report files are attached
