Hardware :: Elantech Touchpad Not Recognized On Gigabyte Netbook?
Apr 9, 2010
I have a Gigabyte M1022M netbook and I was tried to run OpenBSD, Debian Linux as well Archlinux on it with a X-Server.Everything worked great except the touchpad. It is an Elantech touchpad which should be supported by the Linux Kernel.After some time I tried to find something like a version or something else to clearly identify the touchpad but the touchpad was not listed in the output of "dmesg". There was also no entry in /proc/bus/input/devices.

I have a very weird issue with a Acer chromebook laptop (CB5-571) After fresh install of Jessie I just can't seem to have any trace of the touchpad and by that I mean nothing in dmesg or /proc/bus/input/devices or even /var/log/Xorg.0.log is mentioning anything about any sort of touchpad device.
So being desperate I loaded live Xubuntu 14 and the touchpad worked just fine so after some checks it turned out that Xubuntu is using elan_i2c driver which I can't find anywhere.
Also I've tried loading the psmose module but that made no difference as I guess the HW is just not recognized by the system.
dmesg |grep PS

i cant get this right for some reason. i switched from ubuntu to fedora. in ubuntu i had the same issue with the touchpad, but there i found a fix which worked with ubuntu, but not with fedora.[URL]... the problem in fedora is that i dont have any psmouse.ko module in /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/kernel/drivers/input/mouse so the patch cant really be applied so i get an error, saying there is no psmouse
i found a fix, but since my knowledge with linux is limited i didnt get it right. "I spent some time trying to get this working (and one will find other threads here, on the Fedora list, etc, where I was trying to get help), but the problem, in the end, is that Fedora doesn't install the PS/2 mouse driver as a module, but builds it into the kernel. So the solution was to recompile the kernel using the changed files from System 76's repo.
This is not nearly as difficult as it sounds. The process described in the Fedora docs, under Building a Custom Kernel, is easy enough to follow. In my case, it was even easier. I unpacked the kernel source by following the steps down through "Prepare the Kernel Source Tree" and then copied the source for the new "module" into drivers/input/mouse, replacing just the elantech.h and elantech.c files. I don't really care about getting an RPM, so I just built the kernel"[URL]..

I have a problem with Elantech Smart Pad under F12 on ASUS N61 notebook. I could not find the driver, and it is not possible to set sensitivity or to turn it off. It is quite annoying.Does anybody knows how to turn it off, or configure it?

Debian seems to recognize me touchpad as PS/2 Generic Mouse so tapping works but I don't have touchpad in system preferences and two fingers scrolling doesn't work as well as two fingers zoom. Notebook is Samsung 530u3c. I give you some info about my system down below.

I am trying to make it work in a fresh Squeeze install. After installation, only the left mouse works. It seems mouse driver and not synaptics is loaded. I checked the package manager and saw xserver-xorg-input-synaptics packaged installed.
How do I load the synaptics driver and how do I verify I have it? I would like to make sure that before playing with the options.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS. My laptop is an HP Pavilion TX1210AU (TX1000 series). After disabling the touchpad using the toggle button and reenabling it again, it stopped working. I tried restarting my laptop and the mouse worked again only up to the Login Screen. After logging in to my account, the mouse froze again. I tried making a new account and tried logging into it (I'm using it now) and it's now fixed. Does Ubuntu change any user settings everytime the touchpad toggle (on/off) button is switched? Maybe I could just reenable it myself.

I couldn't find a place to post Cent OS questions so don't bite if this is in the wrong place
I have a KeySonic 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard with Integrated TouchPad which I am trying to get to work.
Now there are some reviews saying it works straight out the box on Linux. This was almost the case for me.
The keyboard works straight away but the touch pad doesn't work at all not even the mouse buttons
I am running CentOS release 5.3 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-128.el5
I would really appreciate any advice at all, I have checked the output of: cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Which gives:

I have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?

I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.

Why i cant change from 800x480 to 1024x600, that this model of EEE pc doesnt support anything higher than 800x480 at the 10:1 ratio...
Firstly my question is, is it ACTUALLY possible to 'overclock' this type of netbook to run a higher res?
Im running ubtuntu netbook remix 10.04 and am new to linux (again, so sorry) so be nice, and ive tried getting my head around this 'sudo' stuff, and the xorg.conf file (which is nowhere to be found) and ive even tried a program calld astray but im pretty sure ive exhausted my patience as trying to self-teach . . .
And ive also tried to much around with xrandr or whatever that command was.. but i cant really get my head around it, and it kept telling me the resolution didnt exist ect...

For the past 2hrs I have been struggling to make KDE launch plasma-dekstop instead of plasma-netbook, but all in vain.I removed, then purged plasma-netbook and plasma-netbook-default-settings packages but after logging out and re-logging in the Netbook UI was back! After restarting the system now I can't even seem to get the KDM. I am greeted with a black screen.--- I restarted the system again and the nasty little bugger is back again! This is so frustrating. How do I get plasma-desktop to load instead?---- Great now I can see that plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook both are running simultaneously! netbook on top of desktop. So my final Q is how do I stop plasma-netbook from loading?

I installed a bunch of hfs/hfs+ software and wanted to make an hfs partition. The problem is, GParted only lets me make a 2 GB partition on a 250 GB disk. Why is this so? Is there a limitation in the software, and is this that limitation?

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...

I installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 and immediately noticed the keyboard of my eeepc 1000HE was abnormally warm. Since I dual boot XP I booted to XP and found the fan running faster to compensate for the previous heat. This did not happen on Ubuntu-the fan just was barely running. I had to place the side of the netbook in order to feel the fan running. I issued "sensors" in terminal and it showed 67 degrees C for the cpu temp. Is the latest Ubuntu such a resource hug that it heats up the CPU?

This thread [URL].. was the only one I could find on this forum that addressed the problem I am having. It also involved a Gigabyte motherboard. I recently purchased a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 motherboard which is a version 1.3 . I have a v. 1.0 of the same motherboard which I have used regularly for a year.
The problem I have is that newer versions of Ubuntu (10.04 and 10.10) don't boot reliably with the new motherboard. It will boot up to where it says "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom. Done." and then will stop. If I hit any key on the keyboard the boot finishes and everything is OK. Sometimes it will hang like this but often it will boot successfully without assistance. I need it to boot by itself reliably every time.
Older versions of Ubuntu (8.04 and 9.04) boot just fine with the new board. If I put the drive with the 10.04 installation in my older Gigabyte v.1.0 computer, it boots reliably every time. Interesting to note that Windows XP sp1 installs fine on the older v. 1.0 computer but I need XP sp2 in order to do a successful installation on the v 1.3. I have stress-tested the new setup for 6 hours without incident and memtested the RAM for 4 hours without error. I have even swapped RAM between the two with no resolution.
I can't find any thing in syslog to explain this. It stops just before the splash screen comes up. I removed splash with no positive result.

one2busy here, Just got a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P Mb and Core i5 750. Originally had XP, then Win7, then Win7 64bit ..... all work fine. Tried to install Ubuntu 10.04, when partition section popped up it did not detect either of my Hitachi SATA drives..I went to the website and the website for this Bd, at the bottom of the page, it says that 3rd party drivers are needed for linux. Does anybody know anything about this?

I'm learning C and trying to write a program to convert gigabyte into byte. It will take 50% of the value given and then convert that value into byte. But the problem is the output goes into minus / negative value. Like, if I enter 22, I get output: -2147483648.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
main (int argc, char* argv[])

I did a pg_dump of our data warehouse, and it is 26 gigabytes. I wanted to load this data into a different database product (one that forked from Postgresql, so its syntax is very similar).I needed to change the syntax of the "COPY" command in the pg_dump output, remove references to "public", and change the table owner name. sed did these for me (albeit slowly). The output from pg_dump is a file called "pg-dump-output.sql".
pg_dump produces this:

I would like to know as to how to save a boot order sequence...In my desktop PC I have a gigabyte MOBO housing Pentium Dual Core processor...
Whenever I have to boot from an external USB , I have to press del at boot , go into CMOS features and change the Order of Booting 1-DVD 2 USB-FDD 3. USB-HDD 4. Local Hard Disk
The problem is that everytime I have to repeat the above to boot from USB...I am also confused between USB - HDD and USB - FDD...Some utils partition and use the USB like a HDD while it is not the case with FDD I guess
How do you freeze the boot order so that on inserting any USB / External HDD at boot , the system should give it the priority over local hard disk..
Also in Giga MOBO I noticed that there is no "generic USB" mentioned in BIOS...It lists the USB device by name say "Kingston Data Traveler " "Sandisk Micro" etc ....
What should I do to make the boot order permanent?

Running Fedora FC14x86_64, Mobo gigabyte GA-880GM. processor AMD dual core athlon
Here's the problem:
I've checked the correct pins on the DB9 are going to the correct socket pins on the mobo, connected up a very verbose GPS to the port, and absolutely nothing !
I tried winbows XP on another partition and got nothing in a hyperterminal.
Loaded puppy on an ancient laptop ( P2), and checked with the same cables and plenty of date from the GPS.
Strangely enough running tcpdump -i /dev/ttyS0 gives this:-
Any ideas on what I've missed to get this port up and running ?
