I am experiencing a similiar issue to what I had before on a 3.x kernel, but on anything above 4.1.20. This is the error from the log:

DKMS make.log for psmouse-byd-0.2 for kernel 4.2.8-040208-generic (x86_64)
Mon Mar 28 14:16:03 BST 2016

make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-4.2.8-040208-generic'

Any ideas of what this means? I'm trying to move beyond the 4.1.20 kernel because I've noticed that anything below 4.2 seems to mean that two-finger scroll won't work (on elementary OS Freya which is based on Ubuntu). When I upgrade to anything from 4.2 up, two finger scrolling becomes available as an option in my settings, but the default driver for the touchpad doesn't work properly – the cursor sticks in the top right hand corner of the screen.

Hi Kyle,

I've been trying to get the touchpad working at all on my Librem 13 and followed a link
from the forums there to here. Since PureOS is too hosed in too many ways to be
functional right now, I installed Fedora 22 (kernel 4.3.6-201.fc22.x86), with dkms,
the kernel headers, and whatever else was needed.

Following your README directions almost works but produces no module. Adding
V=1 to the prototype make in dkms.conf shows it gets all the way through the link phase
and I can see it created psmouse.o. It then fails modpost apparently because .tmp_versions
is empty. I've been chasing around in the kernel build makefiles to see why that might be
and have found nothing.

Any thoughts?

Cheers and TIA!

Hi there, I'm trying to get this to work on Elementary OS so that I can use my trackpad. I'm getting this error:

ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for psmouse: byd-0.2 not found
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.19.0-39-generic (x86_64)

Any ideas?

I'm using this driver against Debian Linux kernel 4.3.3-7 (2016-01-19) in stretch (testing) on a Librem 13, and I get occasional blips in responsiveness from the touchpad that generate errors in dmesg.
I have also had some incidents where the touchpad has completely failed to respond and is only recovered when powering the machine off completely. There may be a hardware issue, but I've seen this on two different machines (one with a seemingly unrelated LCD problem).

I'm attaching 3 logs (grepped for byd)
bydfailure1.txt - a complete failure to respond until power off / on
bydissue2.txt - a blip in responsiveness
bydissue3.txt - another blip

Let me know if there is any other information that would be helpful. I don't know how to explicitly recreate the issue, but it happens pretty reliably in a 1-2 hour session of web browsing, etc.
