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

[Azrial]

Sorry, i can not find where I have the option to "SAVE" these changes, or to answer "YES." There is no "SAVE" in Nano.

I found out that I needed to save these changes with Control O. I then when to a new Terminal and update GRUB.

Thanks, it works like a Champ! What a great machine! I really appreciate your efforts!

Sorry I meant ctrl x to exit. Follow the steps.

Thanks for the correction.

NEW INFORMATION AND A ONE LINER

OPEN A TERMINAL
CUT AND PASTE THIS:
sudo echo "options psmouse proto=bare" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null
REBOOT
Tested on Manjaro so far. The point is to create a psmouse.conf file with the quoted option. I found this in a post from 2012.

This is working on CF-31JE. Not as sensitve as the previous patch as it becomes a basic PS/2 mouse rather than a IMPS/2 wheel mouse. No edge scrool yet. Checking my settings.


Brand new to me, still testing.
Alternatives can be confusing BUT replacing "bare" with "imps" brings back edge scroll. Thus:
sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null

EDIT: For now if you have edited grub there is no sense changing. Plus I have to see if it breaks other models.


J'd...using imps for now....

QUICK SOLUTION INTERLINK VERSAPAD CF-31MK2
[code]sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null[/code]
RE-BOOT


Same caddy drops into CF-30MK3 with no issues. Runs like a standard PS/2 mouse. Linux figures it out. (writes the kernel)

The End.

Soooo, change this file back:

Code: Select all

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux QUIET=true

and then add this in:

Code: Select all

sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null

Control O to save the modified GRUB and reboot?

[SHEEPMAN!]

I answered this earlier today. Forgot to send.

delete the i8042 entries, ctrl O to save, sudo update-grub or leave them in there if the machine is working.

Cut and paste the following to a TERMINAL line. It will save itself.

Code: Select all

sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null

Damn, now the terminal will not accept my password. Yes, I am sure that it is correct. No, I do not have on Caps Lock.

That is one of my issues with Linux..It is password happy. It "feels" like I need a password for every keystroke.

LoL, I can live with that, it will just no longer accept my password, so I can not make changes with SUDO. My password still allows me to log in and make updates. I have seen where others have had this problem as well with SUDO and the terminal, but the first fix I tried, that is to bring up terminal by an alternative method, did not work.

My "FIX" involves very strong language and a different hard drive...Sometimes followed by a Xanax chaser...
