That is a fair reason. Then if there is any need for testers in the future im more than happy to help.

I'm sure they are, but they do not support non-tuxedo devices or this unofficial modification and list the following warning on their repo:

"Code interacting with the EC, which is most of tuxedo-drivers, can brick devices and therefore must be ensured to only run on compatible and tested devices."

Therefore, I will continue to take a cautious approach, especially if there is no missing features.

No i just like my software to be uptodate nothing more. Especially when its 8 tags behind. And personally i do believe tuxedo is capable enough to not publish drivers with any major regressions

I'm quite happy to continue maintaining. I wouldn't consider the goal of maintaining this to be keeping parity with the latest tuxedo drivers version - there's a possibility breaking changes are introduced, and so I consider the out of date flag a little misleading. Is there a reason you'd like this to be updated - are there some missing features on the current version?

this hasnt been updated in a while. i am interested in taking over the maintenance for this package if you dont want to anymore @nick42

@evorster - I took over maintainership a little while back. Happy to continue to do this as long as I still have my clevo laptop.

Wow, is this still active? I have forgotten about it long ago! What you can do moving forward is to take maintainership of this package, clone my github repo and point your PKGBUILD to your repo, which you have full control over.

This may be the best way forward, and since you actually have some skin in the game you will be the best person to take care of this.

Tell me if this is acceptable for you? For now, I have disowned this package.

Works great on my P955ER. I've also set up a keyboard shortcut to run this shell script on "Touchpad toggle" (Fn+F1):

#!/bin/sh
DEV_NAME="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
enabled=$(xinput list-props "$DEV_NAME" | grep "Device Enabled" | grep -o '[01]$')
if [ $enabled -eq 1 ]; then
    xinput disable "$DEV_NAME"
else
    xinput enable "$DEV_NAME"
fi

Thanks for the update. My laptop with this hardware died, sadly. I'll keep an update on the issue, and update the fork when the fix hits, but don't expect much more, please.
