1. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver is aware of two different
hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1 and version 2. Version 1
is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per packet. Version 2 seems to
be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes per packet, and provides
additional features such as position of two fingers, and width of the touch.
The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible
with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration
utilities.
Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the
contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented
by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio?
that can be read from and written to.
Currently only the registers for hardware version 1 are somewhat understood.
Hardware version 2 seems to use some of the same registers but it is not
known whether the bits in the registers represent the same thing or might
have changed their meaning.
On top of that, some register settings have effect only when the touchpad is
in relative mode and not in absolute mode. As the Linux Elantech touchpad
driver always puts the hardware into absolute mode not all information
mentioned below can be used immediately. But because there is no freely
available Elantech documentation the information is provided here anyway for
completeness sake.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
2. Extra knobs
~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver provides two extra knobs under
/sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? for the user.
* debug
Turn different levels of debugging ON or OFF.
By echoing "0" to this file all debugging will be turned OFF.
Currently a value of "1" will turn on some basic debugging and a value of
"2" will turn on packet debugging. For hardware version 1 the default is
OFF. For version 2 the default is "1".
Turning packet debugging on will make the driver dump every packet
received to the syslog before processing it. Be warned that this can
generate quite a lot of data!
* paritycheck
Turns parity checking ON or OFF.
By echoing "0" to this file parity checking will be turned OFF. Any
non-zero value will turn it ON. For hardware version 1 the default is ON.
For version 2 the default it is OFF.
Hardware version 1 provides basic data integrity verification by
calculating a parity bit for the last 3 bytes of each packet. The driver
can check these bits and reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using
this knob you can bypass that check.
Hardware version 2 does not provide the same parity bits. Only some basic
data consistency checking can be done. For now checking is disabled by
default. Currently even turning it on will do nothing.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
3. Differentiating hardware versions
=================================
To detect the hardware version, read the version number as param[0].param[1].param[2]
4 bytes version: (after the arrow is the name given in the Dell-provided driver)
02.00.22 => EF013
02.06.00 => EF019
In the wild, there appear to be more versions, such as 00.01.64, 01.00.21,
02.00.00, 02.00.04, 02.00.06.
6 bytes:
02.00.30 => EF113
02.08.00 => EF023
02.08.XX => EF123
02.0B.00 => EF215
04.01.XX => Scroll_EF051
04.02.XX => EF051
In the wild, there appear to be more versions, such as 04.03.01, 04.04.11. There
appears to be almost no difference, except for EF113, which does not report
pressure/width and has different data consistency checks.
Probably all the versions with param[0] <= 01 can be considered as
4 bytes/firmware 1. The versions < 02.08.00, with the exception of 02.00.30, as
4 bytes/firmware 2. Everything >= 02.08.00 can be considered as 6 bytes.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
4. Hardware version 1
==================
4.1 Registers
~~~~~~~~~
By echoing a hexadecimal value to a register it contents can be altered.
For example:
echo -n 0x16 > reg_10
* reg_10
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
B C T D L A S E
E: 1 = enable smart edges unconditionally
S: 1 = enable smart edges only when dragging
A: 1 = absolute mode (needs 4 byte packets, see reg_11)
L: 1 = enable drag lock (see reg_22)
D: 1 = disable dynamic resolution
T: 1 = disable tapping
C: 1 = enable corner tap
B: 1 = swap left and right button
* reg_11
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
1 0 0 H V 1 F P
P: 1 = enable parity checking for relative mode
F: 1 = enable native 4 byte packet mode
V: 1 = enable vertical scroll area
H: 1 = enable horizontal scroll area
* reg_20
single finger width?
* reg_21
scroll area width (small: 0x40 ... wide: 0xff)
* reg_22
drag lock time out (short: 0x14 ... long: 0xfe;
0xff = tap again to release)
* reg_23
tap make timeout?
* reg_24
tap release timeout?
* reg_25
smart edge cursor speed (0x02 = slow, 0x03 = medium, 0x04 = fast)
* reg_26
smart edge activation area width?
4.2 Native relative mode 4 byte packet format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
byte 0:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
c c p2 p1 1 M R L
L, R, M = 1 when Left, Right, Middle mouse button pressed
some models have M as byte 3 odd parity bit
when parity checking is enabled (reg_11, P = 1):
p1..p2 = byte 1 and 2 odd parity bit
c = 1 when corner tap detected
byte 1:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
dx7 dx6 dx5 dx4 dx3 dx2 dx1 dx0
dx7..dx0 = x movement; positive = right, negative = left
byte 1 = 0xf0 when corner tap detected
byte 2:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
dy7 dy6 dy5 dy4 dy3 dy2 dy1 dy0
dy7..dy0 = y movement; positive = up, negative = down
byte 3:
parity checking enabled (reg_11, P = 1):
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
w h n1 n0 ds3 ds2 ds1 ds0
normally:
ds3..ds0 = scroll wheel amount and direction
positive = down or left
negative = up or right
when corner tap detected:
ds0 = 1 when top right corner tapped
ds1 = 1 when bottom right corner tapped
ds2 = 1 when bottom left corner tapped
ds3 = 1 when top left corner tapped
n1..n0 = number of fingers on touchpad
only models with firmware 2.x report this, models with
firmware 1.x seem to map one, two and three finger taps
directly to L, M and R mouse buttons
h = 1 when horizontal scroll action
w = 1 when wide finger touch?
otherwise (reg_11, P = 0):
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
ds7 ds6 ds5 ds4 ds3 ds2 ds1 ds0
ds7..ds0 = vertical scroll amount and direction
negative = up
positive = down
4.3 Native absolute mode 4 byte packet format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EF013 and EF019 have a special behaviour (due to a bug in the firmware?), and
when 1 finger is touching, the first 2 position reports must be discarded.
This counting is reset whenever a different number of fingers is reported.
byte 0:
firmware version 1.x:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
D U p1 p2 1 p3 R L
L, R = 1 when Left, Right mouse button pressed
p1..p3 = byte 1..3 odd parity bit
D, U = 1 when rocker switch pressed Up, Down
firmware version 2.x:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
n1 n0 p2 p1 1 p3 R L
L, R = 1 when Left, Right mouse button pressed
p1..p3 = byte 1..3 odd parity bit
n1..n0 = number of fingers on touchpad
byte 1:
firmware version 1.x:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
f 0 th tw x9 x8 y9 y8
tw = 1 when two finger touch
th = 1 when three finger touch
f = 1 when finger touch
firmware version 2.x:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
. . . . x9 x8 y9 y8
byte 2:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
x7 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0
x9..x0 = absolute x value (horizontal)
byte 3:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
y7 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0
y9..y0 = absolute y value (vertical)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
5. Hardware version 2
==================
5.1 Registers
~~~~~~~~~
By echoing a hexadecimal value to a register it contents can be altered.
For example:
echo -n 0x56 > reg_10
* reg_10
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
0 1 0 1 0 1 D 0
D: 1 = enable drag and drop
* reg_11
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
1 0 0 0 S 0 1 0
S: 1 = enable vertical scroll
* reg_21
unknown (0x00)
* reg_22
drag and drop release time out (short: 0x70 ... long 0x7e;
0x7f = never i.e. tap again to release)
5.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5.2.1 Parity checking and packet re-synchronization
There is no parity checking, however some consistency checks can be performed.
For instance for EF113:
SA1= packet[0];
A1 = packet[1];
B1 = packet[2];
SB1= packet[3];
C1 = packet[4];
D1 = packet[5];
if( (((SA1 & 0x3C) != 0x3C) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80)) || // check Byte 1
(((SA1 & 0x0C) != 0x0C) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) == 0x80)) || // check Byte 1 (one finger pressed)
(((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80) && (( A1 & 0xF0) != 0x00)) || // check Byte 2
(((SB1 & 0x3E) != 0x38) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80)) || // check Byte 4
(((SB1 & 0x0E) != 0x08) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) == 0x80)) || // check Byte 4 (one finger pressed)
(((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80) && (( C1 & 0xF0) != 0x00)) ) // check Byte 5
// error detected
For all the other ones, there are just a few constant bits:
if( ((packet[0] & 0x0C) != 0x04) ||
((packet[3] & 0x0f) != 0x02) )
// error detected
In case an error is detected, all the packets are shifted by one (and packet[0] is discarded).
5.2.2 One/Three finger touch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
byte 0:

x7 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0
x11..x0 = absolute x value (horizontal)
byte 3:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
n4 vf w1 w0 . . . b2
n4 = set if more than 3 fingers (only in 3 fingers mode)
vf = a kind of flag ? (only on EF123, 0 when finger is over one
of the buttons, 1 otherwise)
w3..w0 = width of the finger touch (not EF113)
b2 (on EF113 only, 0 otherwise), b2.R.L indicates one button pressed:
0 = none
1 = Left
2 = Right
3 = Middle (Left and Right)
4 = Forward
5 = Back
6 = Another one
7 = Another one
byte 4:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
p3 p1 p2 p0 y11 y10 y9 y8

byte 5:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
y7 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0
y11..y0 = absolute y value (vertical)
5.2.3 Two finger touch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that the two pairs of coordinates are not exactly the coordinates of the
two fingers, but only the pair of the lower-left and upper-right coordinates.
So the actual fingers might be situated on the other diagonal of the square
defined by these two points.
byte 0:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
n1 n0 ay8 ax8 . . R L
L, R = 1 when Left, Right mouse button pressed

ax8..ax0 = lower-left finger absolute x value
byte 2:

6. Hardware version 3
==================
6.1 Registers
~~~~~~~~~
* reg_10
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 A
A: 1 = enable absolute tracking
6.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 and 3 finger touch shares the same 6-byte packet format, except that
3 finger touch only reports the position of the center of all three fingers.
Firmware would send 12 bytes of data for 2 finger touch.
Note on debounce:
In case the box has unstable power supply or other electricity issues, or
when number of finger changes, F/W would send "debounce packet" to inform
driver that the hardware is in debounce status.
The debouce packet has the following signature:
byte 0: 0xc4
byte 1: 0xff
byte 2: 0xff
byte 3: 0x02
byte 4: 0xff
byte 5: 0xff
When we encounter this kind of packet, we just ignore it.
6.2.1 One/Three finger touch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
byte 0:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
n1 n0 w3 w2 0 1 R L
L, R = 1 when Left, Right mouse button pressed
n1..n0 = number of fingers on touchpad

byte 3:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
0 0 w1 w0 0 0 1 0
w3..w0 = width of the finger touch
byte 4:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
p3 p1 p2 p0 y11 y10 y9 y8
p7..p0 = pressure
byte 5:
bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
y7 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0
y11..y0 = absolute y value (vertical)
6.2.2 Two finger touch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The packet format is exactly the same for two finger touch, except the hardware
sends two 6 byte packets. The first packet contains data for the first finger,
the second packet has data for the second finger. So for two finger touch a
total of 12 bytes are sent.

7.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
v4 hardware is a true multitouch touchpad, capable of tracking up to 5 fingers.
Unfortunately, due to PS/2's limited bandwidth, its packet format is rather
complex.
Whenever the numbers or identities of the fingers changes, the hardware sends a
status packet to indicate how many and which fingers is on touchpad, followed by
head packets or motion packets. A head packet contains data of finger id, finger
position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains
two fingers' position delta.
For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we
can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change,
the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger
position, until we receive a status packet.
One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only
one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards.
