Input: psmouse - add support for Elantech touchpads
This is version 5 of the driver. Relative mode support has been
dropped (users wishing to use touchpad in relative mode can use
standard PS/2 protocol emulation done in hardware). The driver
supports both original version of Elantech protocol and the newer
one used by touchpads installed in EeePC.

| 31 | 1. Introduction | ||
| 32 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver is aware of two different | ||
| 35 | hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1 and version 2. Version 1 | ||
| 36 | is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per packet. Version 2 seems to | ||
| 37 | be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes per packet. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible | ||
| 40 | with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration | ||
| 41 | utilities. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the | ||
| 44 | contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented | ||
| 45 | by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? | ||
| 46 | that can be read from and written to. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | Currently only the registers for hardware version 1 are somewhat understood. | ||
| 49 | Hardware version 2 seems to use some of the same registers but it is not | ||
| 50 | known whether the bits in the registers represent the same thing or might | ||
| 51 | have changed their meaning. | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | On top of that, some register settings have effect only when the touchpad is | ||
| 54 | in relative mode and not in absolute mode. As the Linux Elantech touchpad | ||
| 55 | driver always puts the hardware into absolute mode not all information | ||
| 56 | mentioned below can be used immediately. But because there is no freely | ||
| 57 | available Elantech documentation the information is provided here anyway for | ||
| 58 | completeness sake. | ||

| 64 | 2. Extra knobs | ||
| 65 | ~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver provides two extra knobs under | ||
| 68 | /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? for the user. | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | * debug | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | Turn different levels of debugging ON or OFF. | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | By echoing "0" to this file all debugging will be turned OFF. | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | Currently a value of "1" will turn on some basic debugging and a value of | ||
| 77 | "2" will turn on packet debugging. For hardware version 1 the default is | ||
| 78 | OFF. For version 2 the default is "1". | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | Turning packet debugging on will make the driver dump every packet | ||
| 81 | received to the syslog before processing it. Be warned that this can | ||
| 82 | generate quite a lot of data! | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | * paritycheck | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | Turns parity checking ON or OFF. | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | By echoing "0" to this file parity checking will be turned OFF. Any | ||
| 89 | non-zero value will turn it ON. For hardware version 1 the default is ON. | ||
| 90 | For version 2 the default it is OFF. | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | Hardware version 1 provides basic data integrity verification by | ||
| 93 | calculating a parity bit for the last 3 bytes of each packet. The driver | ||
| 94 | can check these bits and reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using | ||
| 95 | this knob you can bypass that check. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | It is not known yet whether hardware version 2 provides the same parity | ||
| 98 | bits. Hence checking is disabled by default. Currently even turning it on | ||
| 99 | will do nothing. | ||
| 100 | |||

| 107 | |||
| 108 | 3.1 Registers | ||
| 109 | ~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | By echoing a hexadecimal value to a register it contents can be altered. | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | For example: | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | echo -n 0x16 > reg_10 | ||
| 116 | |||

| 120 | B C T D L A S E | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | E: 1 = enable smart edges unconditionally | ||
| 123 | S: 1 = enable smart edges only when dragging | ||
| 124 | A: 1 = absolute mode (needs 4 byte packets, see reg_11) | ||
| 125 | L: 1 = enable drag lock (see reg_22) | ||
| 126 | D: 1 = disable dynamic resolution | ||
| 127 | T: 1 = disable tapping | ||
| 128 | C: 1 = enable corner tap | ||
| 129 | B: 1 = swap left and right button | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | * reg_11 | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | ||
| 134 | 1 0 0 H V 1 F P | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | P: 1 = enable parity checking for relative mode | ||
| 137 | F: 1 = enable native 4 byte packet mode | ||
| 138 | V: 1 = enable vertical scroll area | ||
| 139 | H: 1 = enable horizontal scroll area | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | * reg_20 | ||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | single finger width? | ||
| 144 | |||
| 145 | * reg_21 | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | scroll area width (small: 0x40 ... wide: 0xff) | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | * reg_22 | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | drag lock time out (short: 0x14 ... long: 0xfe; | ||
| 152 | 0xff = tap again to release) | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | * reg_23 | ||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | tap make timeout? | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | * reg_24 | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | tap release timeout? | ||
| 161 | |||

| 165 | |||
| 166 | * reg_26 | ||
