Here's an ebuild to install a kernel module and a user space tool that enable users to display things in their Synaptics CPads and to get the third button to work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 14487 [details] portage/sys-apps/cpad-tools/cpad-tools-0.6.ebuild Actual ebuild.
Created attachment 14488 [details] sys-apps/cpad-tools/cpad-tools-0.6.ebuild Fixed a typo and added an "update-modules" line. The first attachment is obsolete.
I've tried the new ebuild you mailed me. Simple problem : the tarball from www.janerob.com does not contain my gentoo pixmap and some modifications to the source code. You should stick to the one I put in the first ebuild.
I have an update for the cpad driver on kernel 2.6. It wasn't written by me, but the page I originally found it on has disappeared. I am mirroring it on my university page for now. I am contacting the author to see if he plans to continue development. If not, I will take it over and host it on my lug's site. It is not in ebuild format yet. I'll post when I get to that point. http://eecs.wsu.edu/~bford/cpad26-0.1.tar.bz2
There is a cpad driver for 2.6 available under http://www.personal.uni-jena.de/~p1stja/linux/cpad.html has anybody done an e-build yet?
Created attachment 41592 [details] sys-apps/cpad26/cpad26-0.2.ebuild Ok, first ebuild for the 2.6 module. It simply builds the USB Cpad module. All configuration steps are in the README... Should I had more stuff in the ebuild itself? I do not know about the dependency on sys-kernel/config-kernel... it needs it but shouldn't this be handled within the eclass?
typo alert :) It should be insinto /lib/modules/${KV}/kernel/drivers/usb/input in the cpad26-0.2 ebuild attached
Thanks for the ebuild. However, I don't understand, why you use http://www.janerob.com/rob/ts5100/cPad/JanS/${P}.tar.bz2 as source uri, and not the developer's site http://www.personal.uni-jena.de/~p1stja/linux/${P}.tar.bz2 also, version 0.4 is available at http://www.personal.uni-jena.de/~p1stja/linux/cpad26-0.4.tar.bz2 and the ebuild below is laid out for Version 0.2, right?
Created attachment 63578 [details] Synaptics cPad / USB TouchPad driver v1.2 ebuild Here is an ebuild for the latest version of the Linux 2.6 cPad driver, which also supports the Synaptics USB Touchpad (similar to the cPad, but doesn't have a display).
Reassigning.
janerob.com is the source for the original driver, which was for 2.4 only. That is still the site for the cpad tools. uni-jena.de is the site for the updated 2.6 port. It's now up to 1.4rc3 and I just sent a patch upstream, so it will probably be updated again.
We do not want any drivers for 2.4 kernels. If there's still some kind of upstream and you want to provide updated ebuilds, feel free to reopen. WONTFIX meanwhile.
What makes you think that this is a 2.4 driver?
