output of dmesg

From dmesg:

[   18.609563] input: Cypress APA Trackpad (cyapa) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-7/7-0067/input/input4

I'd guess the driver module for that is

  kernel/drivers/input/mouse/cyapatp.ko.xz

which isn't included in the installer.

CC: (none) => mageia

Should be fixed in drakx-installer-images-2.63-1.

Ben, please try one of the new netinstall images when it reaches the mirrors.

Can you attach (note paste) the output of:
 sudo libinput list-devices > /tmp/libinput-devices.txt

Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO
CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud

Also, is the dmesg output in comment #2 is from the installer or the installed system?

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #7)
> Can you attach (note paste) the output of:

On the installed system (not during install) of course.

from installed system.

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #7)
> Can you attach (note paste) the output of:

$ sudo libinput list-devices > /tmp/libinput-devices.txt
[sudo] password for *****: 
***** is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

returns an empty file

Use:
su -
libinput list-devices > /tmp/libinput-devices.txt

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #12)
> Use:

[root@localhost ~]# libinput list-devices > /tmp/libinput-devices.txt
-bash: libinput: command not found


creates an empty .txt file.

hmmm

You'll need to install the libinput-tools package to satisfy Thierry's request.

Could you boot from the netinstall ISO again, and when you get to the installer GUI, switch to the debug shell (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and run the command

  modprobe cyapatp

Does this report any errors? ('dmesg' may provide more information if so)

If successful, does 'dmesg' now show a line like

input: Cypress APA Trackpad (cyapa) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-7/7-0067/input/input4

and if you switch back to the GUI (Ctrl-Alt-F7), does the touchpad now work?

"urpmf libinput" is your friend
Just run "urpmi libinput" as root

no

There must still be something missing, but what?

Could you attach the output from /sbin/lsmod in the installed system.

Sorry this is turning into a game of Twenty Questions!

as I mentioned in the o/p, limited market (maybe) so shouldnt be a release blocker.
in saying that, it is a really nice little unit to use, so maybe in greater use than I think.
(am looking at getting a Acer Travelmate B113 to compare, ex-windows)

output of /sbin/lsmod

Ah, looks like chromeos_laptop is the missing piece. From the kernel driver description:

This driver instantiates i2c and smbus devices such as light sensors and touchpads.

Keywords: NEEDINFO => (none)

(In reply to ben mcmonagle from comment #20)
At least most touchpads can now be used with installer, unlike when we were using the evdev driver (actually since Mageia 6) (after a brief cople months with evdev+synaptics) .

(In reply to Martin Whitaker from comment #22)
Looks like you got a nice catch :-)
Which means, we might want to add more platform drivers in the future (which we don't until now...)

Please test the new netinstall image when drakx-installer-images-2.64-1 reaches your mirror.

dah dah dahhhhh.....

success

closing as fixed

thanks Martin

Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED

Thanks for all the testing Ben.
