I downgraded VoodooI2C to pre-VoodooInput version and it's still broken

marianopela

@marianopela

@coolstar Not happening to me. It is all behaving exactly the same as on Catalina. Maybe it's something device-specific?

This is the only strange thing I noticed. Not sure it's relevant. Sorry if it's not

Kishor Prins

@kprinssu

@coolstar I am not sure what exactly has changed, from what I know many users have not reported the issue you are facing

it's been quite the opposite, Big Sur simply works and have not reported any major issues

CoolStar

@coolstar

@kprinssu weird, I'll probably boot up a catalina install to double check then

I also noticed some issues with sleep/wake in recent versions of VoodooI2C where trackpad stops working (GPIO interrupts)

I've downgraded to version 2.4.3 which seems to be working decently-ish

CoolStar

@coolstar

actually nvm didn't need to do that... I'm actually kinda annoyed lol. Booted into Windows and click wasn't working there either

turned out the laptop back panel got misaligned somehow and the click physically wasn't working... lol

Kishor Prins

@kprinssu

@coolstar that's weird to hear it was a physical issue, but glad you got working
in regards to sleep/wake, it's been reported and probably related to the changes made within the GPIO controller

relevant PRs:
VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C#390
VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C#385
VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C#370

@coolstar @ben9923 whenever you get the chance, can you one of you guys look at this PR, VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C#398

CoolStar

@coolstar

@kprinssu yeah it's one of the changes between 2.4.3 and 2.4.4

@coolstar

@blankmac @kprinssu do I have to do anything special to get my stylus working in macOS? got a Wacom 50FC here

CoolStar

@coolstar

oh seems like the IOProbeScores for the touch screen / stylus drivers were backwards

flipped it and stylus is working

Kishor Prins

@kprinssu

@coolstar can you narrow down which commit broke things?

it's been about 6 months since those were released so I am not too sure in detail as to what causes your issue

hrmm
Palm rejection is harder than I thought it'd be lol

I took a stab at implementing "zones" where fingers get invalidated (until lifted) while typing/using the trackpoint. This seems to work pretty well actually
VoodooSMBus/VoodooRMI#61

I think I'm gonna wait on implementing anything into VoodooInput until I've put it into VoodooRMI's master and gotten feedback on it (or lack of feedback showing it's working?)

marianopela

@marianopela

Hi, have you considered switching to Github Actions?

Kishor Prins

@kprinssu

@ben9923 has brought it up, personally I'm indifferent but I am also not as keen on changing when things are not broken with Circle

blankmac

@blankmac

Seems that they've made some changes to the transducer array in voodooinput?

zhen-zen

@zhen-zen

I think that's just Trackpoint?

blankmac

@blankmac

They’ve also eliminated transducer->id in favor of some attempt at designating a thumb. Haven’t gone through it fully yet though.

Avery Black

@1Revenger1

setting the thumb helps a lot with 4 finger gestures I've found

not sure why it was originally changed though

blankmac

@blankmac

Maybe so. A heads up would have been nice if there wasn’t one. Haven’t been around much lately. LOL. It’s a fundamental change tho that breaks everything that hasn’t been updated to account for it, so....

Ben Raz

@ben9923

@blankmac Should be easy enough, see VoodooI2C implementation:
VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C#333

blankmac

@blankmac

@ben9923 Thank you. :) I updated my wife's Elite and of course the trackpad stopped working. Drove me crazy for a little bit, lol.

Ben Raz

@ben9923

@blankmac Haha as long as we ship VoodooInput with VoodooI2C I guess it's fine

It's our choice to build master VoodooInput with every release

I guess she has both I2C and Alps installed?

blankmac

@blankmac

Yes, so with newer releases the voodooinput message isn’t correct.

Ben Raz

@ben9923

Ah, got it

blankmac

@blankmac

She's a trooper for putting up with the Elite after her last MacBook croaked. I bought her one of the new M1 MacBooks for christmas so she has something that "just works". :-D

Ben Raz

@ben9923

Should be a great machine :D

Kishor Prins

@kprinssu

@blankmac M1 devices are pretty beefy, hope your enjoys it :)

Ben Raz

@ben9923

@blankmac Don't forget to remove those headers from your repo, now when you're using MacKernelSDK ;)

blankmac

@blankmac

@ben9923 Thanks! I totally forgot, lol.

Ben Raz

@ben9923

@blankmac :)
BTW if you can have a look in the main VoodooI2C chat that would be great
Someone is trying AlpsT4USB and getting this error:

[    1.695099]: VoodooI2CHIDDevice:0x100000391 Matching has vendor DeviceUsagePage : ff01 bundleIdentifier com.blankmac.AlpsT4USB ioclass AlpsT4USBEventDriver but transport and vendorID is missing

I believe IOHIDInterface inherits the IOHIDDevice's match properties, so Alps event driver won't attach.

blankmac

@blankmac

Yeah, not sure why that would happen, tbh. The only issue with later versions of VoodooI2C was that the voodooinput message lacked finger type information. So the Alps kext would attach but there would be no input other than clicks.

I uploaded the newest version for him/her in the chat but that probably won't help. I'll take a look at their EFI though.

Ben Raz

@ben9923

Cool, thanks

I do wonder if simply adding Transport=I2C and VendorId=<whatever that is> would work

blankmac

@blankmac

Oh, is it an I2C trackpad?

Ben Raz

@ben9923

Yeah
