Synaptic Trackpad only works for a few seconds then stops. ( Voodoo RMI )
I have the github issue here for more info: https://github.com/VoodooSMBus/VoodooRMI/issues/165
- Trackpoint and upper mouse buttons aren't working -- HP Elitebook 840 G3 Monterey
- VoodooPS2 and I2C don't work. [Monterey | OpenCore 0.8.1]

Got Monterey working on Thinkpad P51, with a 144Hz internal display. Everything worked well except for Trackpad via SMBus
Using the currently recommended method (https://github.com/VoodooSMBus/VoodooRMI/) to load Synaptics touchpad does not work on this machine. If I am only use VoodooPS2Controller to drive the trackpoint and trackpad, trackpad would not click by touching.

Thinkpad T470P - All trackpad buttons only right click
Is it Synaptics? It might work with VoodooRMI: https://github.com/VoodooSMBus/VoodooRMI Not sure why VoodooPS2 would have issues unfortunately.

No trackpad scrolling/gestures after sleep
Are you sure your touchpad is only PS/2? (check here) You may also need VoodooRMI, VoodooSMBus, and/or VoodooI2C (and its plugins).

Dell Inspiron 5558 trackpad on MacOS Big Sur
Hello, I've been trying to make my trackpad be recognized as one (it works just as a mouse) but still unsuccessful. I think it is a HID I2C, so I've tried difffent kext of VoodooI2C, VoodooI2CHID, Alps HID VoodooRMI, VoodooI2CElan, etc but nothing works. So I've tried to make the SSDT-GPI0, but I don't know how I should modify it, because my _sta is different from the guide. Also tried _OSI to XOSI patch.

Cant Get IGPU to wrok on Lenovo Legion y520 (Open Core)
• Off topic but I believe you got SMBus trackpad, better to use VoodooRMI instead of ApplePS2SmartTouchPad (better gestures support)

My laptop's can't recognize my tap
Questions/Basic Troubleshooting - Did you determine which type/hardware/rev your Touchpad is? Did you check in the BIOS if it's actually HID, or PS/2? You stated HID, but I see a kext entry for VoodooPS2Trackpad as well. Did you read the guide over on the VoodooPS2 page?. You may or may not have to edit the config inside the VoodooPS2Trackpad.Kext (hardware dependent, and not always necessary as of 2.28). Read carefully, there are known issues with Trackpad Gestures. Do you also have a Touchscreen as well, and is it working? (I see Voodooi2c, assuming there's no other i2c devices) Did you do Clean Snapshot after loading your Kexts/ACPI?? OCValidate?
