Cannot install hid_magicmouse kernel module

Ask Fedora

Hi, I’ve bought the new USB-C Apple Magic Trackpad yesterday, and trying to get it running in Fedora. AFAIK all the older versions are supported in kernel, but the latest one is not yet.

There is a kernel module on github that works in Ubuntu I guess. I installed dkms and ran the install script, which runs dkms and then modprobe. Alas, the tablet still does not work as it should.

All the outputs from modprobe, lsmod, dmesg etc are in bugzilla comments. One piece of information missing is secure boot:

$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled

Can anybody recommend me anything? Documentation gives me nothing alas.

rmmod: ERROR: Module hid_magicmouse is builtin.

Loading that DKMS module may require rebuilding the kernel:

Yup, rebuilding the kernel made the module work. Thanks :slight_smile:
