Hi,
First, thank you for your excellent work. I recently bought a new Lenovo Ideapad Flex 15D, it comes with Windows 8.1.
I have been able to run linux, however the ALPS touchpad is only recognized as a PS/2 mouse. I also have some problems with the screen
turning off and the GPU stalling, but this is outside of the scope of
this list. This is what dmesg shows for the touchpad:
psmouse serio1: alps: Unknown ALPS touchpad: E7=73 03 0a, EC=88 b6 06
I hacked alps.c with the following code in alps_identify(...):
[...]
} else if (ec[0] == 0x88 && ec[1] == 0xb6 &&
ec[2] == 0x06 )
{
priv->proto_version = ALPS_PROTO_V5;
alps_set_defaults(priv);
return 0;
}
[...]
With this code the module seems to recognize the card and dmesg reports the following:
[ 791.663876] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input22
[ 791.692023] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input21
However, the touchpad still operates only as a PS/2 mouse (no scroll, no middle
button emulation, no touch gestures) even if I disable the PS/2 mouse
with xinput.
any help would be appreciated, I am willing to test patches if you send them to me.
Thanks!

Hi Omar,
Thanks for your mail. This is Tommy from ALPS.
According to your info "E7=73 03 0a, EC=88 b6 06", I think you're now
using ALPS_PROTO_V7 device.
My colleague Elaine(Qiting) is now working with this touchpad's
support and has released a patch last week.
You can have a try ~

If you find any issue or have any suggestion, please kindly let us
know. We'll try our best to make the driver better.
Thanks!

The patch works very well! I now need to adjust the settings. I wanted to let you know two
finger middle button works, along with two finger scrolling, circular
scrolling, edge scrolling, right button, etc. Everything is working.
Thank you all for the good work you do for the linux community.
