Has this been pushed upstream yet?

I’ve been trying to tweak the settings to get better 2 and 3 finger taps for right and middle click. It feels pretty random whether a 3 finger tap registers as a right or middle click. This is entirely possible because I tap too low and hit the bottom area. Does anyone have any good settings for this?

I patched fedora’s 3.5.3-1 kernel with cypress touchpad driver. Works well on Lenovo U300s with Fedora 17. Kernel RPMs are available on my blog: http://www.furkantektas.com/teknoloji/linux-kernel-3-5-3-1-rpms-with-cypress-ps2-trackpad-mouse-driver/

Bad news The backlight controls are once again broken with kernel 3.6rc2 (mainline, as of this writing).

That’s good to hear, thanks!

Calcifer, I heard back from the team re merging into mainstream: “We’re working towards getting it upstream into mainline, but we don’t have an estimate when that might occur,” wish us luck as we fight the good fight

Best thing to do is get a bug filed with all the details you’ve got including this kernel patch so we can track this.

I just fwd’d this to the team, let me see what they say.

thx

I am having the same issue as this user reported on askubuntu. The issue is that the XPS13 hangs on resume from suspend when connected to an external display via Mini DisplayPort.

Apparently there is a kernal patch that resolves the issue. Any change we can get this packaged in Kamal’s PPA?

Thanks Do you know if these patches will be merged upstream (into mainline) and if so, in which merge window?

Did you find a solution for this?

I also disabled mouse clicks with the touchpad. I don’t like having to “click” to click, but I figured it was better than having the cursor randomly jump around. Unfortunately the touchpad still seems to register the occasional click from my palms.

For anyone who might be interested, I’ve created a custom kernel for Arch Linux that includes this driver + the i915 backlight control fixes. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60736

Awesome. Working for XPS 15z as well. Not many gesture support but it solves the basic problem. Now there’s a touch-pad panel in the settings and I can disable the touchpad while typing. Some one with access should update the Ubuntu wiki on 15z with this.

I’m very glad to get support for the touchpad, that was driving me nuts. I’m still having a odd problem though.

I turned on “Disable touchpad while typing” and turned off “Enable mouse clicks with touchpad” because I was getting a ton of mis-clicks, the problem is my trackpad is still randomly clicking on things while I’m typing.
