Description of problem: The Elantech touchpad in my Dell Mini 10 is detected as a logitech mouse, making touchpad configuration impossible (it is super sensitive to tapping and does not turn off while typing which results in me being very angry while typing). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel version: 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. lshal | grep Logitech Actual results: info.product = 'ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse' (string) input.product = 'ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse' (string) info.vendor = 'Logitech, Inc.' (string) usb_device.vendor = 'Logitech, Inc.' (string) usb.vendor = 'Logitech, Inc.' (string) info.product = 'Logitech USB Optical Mouse' (string) input.product = 'Logitech USB Optical Mouse' (string) Expected results: Nothing, it should be an elantech touchpad. Additional info: In drivers/input/mouse/elantech.c, there are some comments indicating that Logitech mice respond to similar detection knocks as elantech touchpads...that's probably the root of the problem...
The same thing happens on my ASUS UL30A-A2 laptop. Is there a way to trick the kernel into seeing it?
Cosmin, is this still present on F-12? It is for me, so please move the version to 12 if it is for you as well. Thanks.
I haven't tried F12 on my netbook because it has a GMA 500 and I'm unsure if the poulsbo driver will work on F12... As for tricking the kernel, the place to do that would probably be in drivers/input/mouse/elantech.c:elantech_detect ...
Confirmed with Asus X66IC-JX011V & F12 (X86_64). From what I can see in various forums, this concerns all or most new Asus laptops.
Cosmin, could you try this with a F12 live CD/DVD? If not, we should copy this to a new report and assign it to F12, but that sounds a bit unnecessary spamming of the bug database.
Problem confirmed in F12 w/ liveusb.
confirmed on Asus N71VN with F12 x86_64: Kernel: 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 lshal: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input' info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.mouse'} (string list) info.category = 'input' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port' (string) info.product = 'ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse' (string) info.subsystem = 'input' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input' (string) input.device = '/dev/input/event5' (string) input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port' (string) input.product = 'ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse' (string) input.x11_driver = 'evdev' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event5' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'input' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input5/event5' (string) Xorg.0.log: (II) config/hal: Adding input device ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse (**) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: always reports core events (**) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event5" (II) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons (II) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: Found scroll wheel(s) (II) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: Found relative axes (II) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: Found x and y relative axes (II) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: Configuring as mouse (**) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" (type: MOUSE) (**) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 (**) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: (accel) acceleration profile 0 (II) ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse: initialized for relative axes. really annoying, as we can't have any control over the touchpad. Bye for now
I still suffer from this in F13.
It looks like there is a possible fix for this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/418282
(In reply to comment #9) > It looks like there is a possible fix for this? > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/418282 Those fixes are all in 2.6.34; you can get a 2.6.34.1 kernel for F-13 from koji. We'll probably not fix this in F-12 at this point.
Hi, I upgraded to F13 and installed the newest 2.6.43.1 kernel off koji and I still have this issue... is there something I need to do in addition to installing the updated kernel?
Same here. I'm running F13 with 2.6.34.3-37.fc13.x86_64 from updates-testing. The Elantech trackpad is still recognized as a Logitech ps/2 mouse.
Still can't fix this with my ASUS K50AD laptop in F12. you mean I should compile my own kernel-2.6.34 or kenrel-2.6.35?
No, you just update your system with yum. Kernel 2.6.34 is not stable yet so you need to enable repository "updates-testing". I would advise waiting with using this kernel until it is in the normal updates repository. I tried it yesterday and while it made the touchpad work, it crashed several times. I'm now running 2.6.33 again until 2.6.34 has matured some more. If you still want to test it, here's the command: #sudo yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel 2.6.34 still didn't detect my Elantech touchpad automatically (laptop Asus UL50VT) but it has the option to force identify it by passing kernel option "psmouse.force_elantech=1" in the grub menu. This bug might be a duplicate: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556229
Sorry, I just noted you wrote F12. I'm not sure 2.6.34 will be available for F12, only F13. Compiling kernels is a bit above my head. why not upgrade to F13? #preupgrade

psmouse.force_elantech=1 works for me too =)
This bug is still not fixed (touchpad detected as Logitech PS/2 mouse) with the new 2.6.34 kernel : # uname -r 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64 It is still detected as a Logitech PS/2 mouse. It works with the fix: psmouse.force_elantech=1 Bye for now
I have the same issue on an asus K52F-SX139X kernel : 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686
Idownloaded fedora 14 and tested it succefully. maybe a backport can fix it?
I confirm that an upgrade to Fedora 14 has fixed this issue : no need for any "fix" on the grub's kernel line. (kernel 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64) Dag
This still occurs on Fedora 16. Happens to newest model Elan smartpads. dmesg | grep input Resulted in: [ 2.297035] input: PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4
