Hello!
My laptop is ASUS G60VW, sold in China, similar to GL552VW. I had used the voodooI2C v1.0.4, it did work, but not perfectly. Once I found the v2.0.1 release, I downloaded it and replaced the old one. But the v2.0.1 didn't work. I'll upload my dsdt and .ioreg. Could you please help me?

Read the instructions page: https://voodooi2c.github.io/#Installation/Installation .

thanks！
By following the instructions, I made the trackpad work.
And I feel that the two-finger-tap gesture is not so sensitive.
Is it common defect of I2C device？

It is a known bug but I don't know what causes it.

ACPI ID for my laptop touch pad is ETPD. native DSDT code for this device is:

All Ioregs should be provided with VoodooI2C loaded (an ioreg without it is useless to me). You also neglected to provide me with a log file as requested.

In any case, I think the issue is related to the `_STA` method of your `ETPD`. Try replacing its contents with simply `Return (0x0F)`.

After replacing _STA method content and installing kext to L/E, touch pad is working very well.
Very thanks for your guide.

As the guide says, you should always inject VoodooI2C and the satellites with Clover.
