Bug#875621: linux: ThinkPad X270 Synaptics touchpad: please enable CONFIG_RMI4_SMB
Source: linux
Version: 4.12.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
During boot, the 4.12 kernel suggests some additional kernel options
should be enabled to improve touchpad support:
Sep 8 14:18:15 muta kernel: [ 4.089833] psmouse serio1: synaptics:
queried max coordinates: x [..5712], y [..4780]
Sep 8 14:18:15 muta kernel: [ 4.121930] psmouse serio1: synaptics:
queried min coordinates: x [1232..], y [1074..]
Sep 8 14:18:15 muta kernel: [ 4.121939] psmouse serio1: synaptics:
The touchpad can support a better bus than the too old PS/2 protocol.
Make sure MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS and RMI4_SMB are enabled to get a
better touchpad experience.
Sep 8 14:18:15 muta kernel: [ 4.184718] psmouse serio1: synaptics:
Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.2, id: 0x1e2b1, caps:
0xf407a3/0x943300/0x12e800/0x410000, board id: 3075, fw id: 2477413
Sep 8 14:18:15 muta kernel: [ 4.184735] psmouse serio1: synaptics:
serio: Synaptics pass-through port at isa0060/serio1/input0
Please consider enabling CONFIG_RMI4_SMB.
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS is already enabled:
bootc@muta ~ $ egrep 'MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS|RMI4_SMB'
/boot/config-4.12.0-1-amd64
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS=y
# CONFIG_RMI4_SMB is not set
Thanks,
Chris
