Re: [HP Pavilion x2 - 12-b003nf] Synaptics touchpad not configured by HID RMI

Now I tried this branch as well :
https://github.com/bentiss/linux/commits/synaptics-rmi4-v4.8%2B

But I can't seem to get it to boot. I got a "gave up waiting for root
device". Something about missing modules and an alert followed by a
long UUID that does not exist. Probably has nothing to do with the hid
driver though, I probably just did something wrong when configuring or
compiling the kernel.

Thought I'd let you know. If there are other branches that needs
testing for this new hid driver I can do so. Especially good if there
are .debs available, so nothing get's screwed up along the compilation
process. :)

I managed to compile my own kernel, and can now confirm this branch:
https://github.com/aduggan/linux/tree/development/hid-rmi

Works perfect with the hardware I described. Two-finger scrolling,
edge scrolling and correct acceleration all works as they should. :)

Thanks to all involved! Now I only hope this gets pushed upstream soon. :)

Hi! I'm having some trouble with my touchpad, so I figured I'd send a
report. Details can be seen below.


[1.] One line summary of the problem:

Synaptics touchpad fail to be configured by HID RMI on a HP Pavilion
x2 (12-b003nf)


[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

Touchpad on the HP Pavilion X2 12" does nothing after boot. dmesg shows:

[    6.032160] hid-rmi 0003:06CB:7D29.0001: No 2D sensor found, giving up.
[    6.032273] hid-rmi 0003:06CB:7D29.0001: Error while initializing F11 (-19).

Your sensor is probably using the F12 2D sensor, not the F11. We are
aware of this issue, and patches has already been submitted. We need
them to be pushed upstream...

Meanwhile, if you can compile a kernel, you might be interested in:
- https://github.com/aduggan/linux/tree/development/hid-rmi (branch
  hid-rmi) -> this has been tested against F12 on RMI4 over HID
- https://github.com/bentiss/linux/commits/synaptics-rmi4-v4.8%2B (
  branch synaptics-rmi4-v4.8+) -> this is what matches the latest
  submission (the HID part has not been tested and thus not submitted)

Any help in testing would be appreciated! :)

Cheers,
Benjamin

I see, great to hear! Any idea how long it would take to get it pushed upstream?
I want to help you test, but I'm not sure I can get the kernel
compilation right. I'll give it a go and return if I get any results!

Thanks!

Daniel
