CF-31P and touchpad (Interlink Versapad)SAGA CONTINUES WORKS

[Shawn]

Jeff,
I contacted some locals that are familiar with The Alps. I think that you and them speak the same language. I bet they can moove you to a solution.

That's exactly what he needs. MORE LIVESTOCK!!





Jeff, you missed a slash:

Code: Select all

 ls -l /dev/input by-path

should be this:

Code: Select all

 ls -l /dev/input/by-path

But anyway it's not necessary. The boot error in dmesg returns plenty of proposed solutions to your problem , if you "shawn" the web.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/398568/p ... 518#417518
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1189603

I'd be tempted to try the last one first since it seems to be the easiest. Do these as root of course:
edit /etc/default/grub then add "i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
update-grub
reboot

I presume you've already added kernel parameters in /etc./default/grub before.
It should look like this:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"

If you have another kernel boot parameter in there, just add the new stuff separated by a space, between the quotes.

Thanks Shawn for the Alps experts but mooving right along....

Cleve I read your stuff.

"Upgraded CF-31 and at least one CF-19 are using Interlink Versapad" my quote from this: http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/ ... ughbook-19

This gave me a couple more keywords to search for. Which is where I am now.......(Interlink,versapad,Linux,Debian,touchpad)
I'll swap drives in a bit. Prefer to work on this type of problem from the machine that is ill.

When I loaded the driver bundle the installer threw a 1633? code......"Thu 08/13/2015 ERRORLEVEL:1633" One time only. Need to check this for clues.

I'll run this anyway for general information....I knew that a slash should be there but thought it was special or something.

So mooving on.

kodeniner: There is a typo after etc (a period)(full stop)(dot) In your post. Readers this means it should read /etc/default/grub # Not complaining, thanks for the help.

Back in a second on Linux.

Just to do it right.

Hehe, butterfingers.

Found this on boobtube:

It's a bit annoying to watch him fumble around to get a root shell, but he eventually manages to edit the default grub file. He puts it on another line and adds a few extra i8042 parameters to get it to work, though.

[SHEEPMAN!]

I don't watch if I can help it.

I presume you've already added kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub before.
It should look like this:
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"
If you have another kernel boot parameter in there, just add the new stuff separated by a space, between the quotes.

This worked fine.

Code: Select all

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

The touchpad is not the same as I am used to but is working after this "fix"

Thanks,

Jeff

BTW..They are NOT livestock..They are IT.

Changes made on Makulu 9. Working dandy.

It is a bit early....you missed me with IT. Maybe LT. lactation technicians.
