SMBus trackpad - VoodooRMI

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)
