Three things: 1, Can you provide a simple tutorial (or web page address) of how to reverse-engineer a Linux ALPS driver if possible? I have very basic programming knowledge(shell script, read basic C code except hardware driver). Maybe, I can provide more detail hardware information about this ALPS touchpad in this way? 2, Is there a tool, it can show the message when I operate on touchpad edge scrolling? So, according to the output, it is able to get a dirty solution about edge scrolling function of Lenovo G360 touchpad. The funciton of "disable touchpad when typing" has a solution using python script I have mentioned in the previous posts. 3, If you are interest in this and have time and it is helpful, I can provide a root password for this laptop to you and run ssh service for you all the time. Then you can operate this laptop via ssh connection in this way. You can do anything on this machine even format the disk :-)
