Touchpad not working
amuctued:
Touchpad won't work with dcore out of the box. I also have other flavor linux where it works, so it shows it's a cypress something touchpad. Upon looking into further it seems like a driver named cyapatp is the key.
So I searched https://packages.debian.org for cyapatp and it finds it as cyapatp.ko which tells me it's a kernel module and it's missing in dcore. I'm a noob, do I have to recompile kernel or what are my options?
Jason W:
Hi amuctued. Does your touchpad work with Tinycore? The dCore kernel is basically the Tinycore kernel with devtmpfs support added, all else is the same.
amuctued:
Jason W, I don't use tinycore but burned a tinycoreplus cd and was going to try it. However the pure tinycoreplus iso is mbr boot only, while the touchpad machine is efi only (it's a seabios'ed chromebook). I did try both stretch64 and buster64 plus images and both wouldn't see the touchpad. But because I want this to work and because you asked I'm going to put tinycore on the usb with efi and check. But I don't think it will be different
amuctued:
Uncovering some weird stuff. My usb has syslinux installed from dcore-stretch64.
Loading dcore-stretch64 doesn't like uuid in double parenthesis. If I have them then dcore-stretch64 does the waitusb thing. Removing parenthesis finds the drive and loads the system fast.
Core does not want to load from this syslinux period. Mbr hangs, efi reboots.
Corepure64 loads fine and likes parenthesis around the uuid value
I also tried 32 bit slitaz using it and it also worked
Alpine 64 worked

Hey I found cyapatp.ko.gz in http://tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86_64/release/distribution_files/modules64.gz under modules64\lib\modules\5.10.3-tinycore64\kernel\drivers\input\mouse\
Since kernel is the same I wonder if I can just use it with dCore and how
Didn't find any modules file in the dCore section to play around with
