Touchpad is not being detected properly in MSI-CX640

Open sr229 opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

on ChromiumOS Special builds, it seems that Sentelic Touchpads are not supported.

CloudReady however properly detects this due to their Libinput support

chronos@localhost / $ evtest
No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*
Not running as root, no devices may be available.
Available devices:
/dev/input/event0:      Lid Switch

/dev/input/event10:     USB2.0 UVC 1.3M Webcam: USB2.0 
Select the device event number [0-10]: ^C

Consider adding Libinput support for special builds or support Sentelic touchpads.

If I do the same evtest in current ChromiumOS builds, the FingerSensingPad will be replaced with PS/2 Generic Mouse instead, btw.
