Rob,
Is there an easy way to find this out?

I know CF-31 MK2 uses it, CF-MK1 does not.

Thanks,

Jeff

Panasonic Integrates Interlink’s ‘VersaPad™’ Touchpad with the Toughbook® 31 Laptop
August 01, 2011 11:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

Interlink’s VersaPad is a resistive touchpad that uses a unique pressure sensing technology, enabling exceptionally light touch and smooth tracking. Unaffected by moisture and other contaminants, the VersaPad is operable with any glove or passive stylus, and may be environmentally sealed to NEMA 4X / IP65 standards. This compelling combination makes the VersaPad ideally suited to the harsh environments in which the Panasonic Toughbook excels. The VersaPad is supported by a mouse driver which provides users with an advanced feature set and multi-language support.


Interlink's VersaPad touchpad integrated into Toughbook 19 Posted on November 28, 2012[/b]
Interlink Electronics, Inc. has announced that Panasonic has integrated Interlink's VersaPad® touchpad technology into a second Panasonic Toughbook® mobile computer specifically designed for civilian and military use in the harshest outdoor environments - from oil field to battlefield. Interlink's VersaPad® is now built into the latest Panasonic Toughbook® 19 convertible tablet PC, a fully-rugged mobile computer which is MIL-STD-810G and IP65 certified by an independent third party test lab to survive extreme conditions, such as drops up to six feet, rain, pressure, dust and extraordinary swings in temperature. Last year, Interlink announced that Panasonic had chosen VersaPad® for its upgraded Panasonic Toughbook® 31 rugged laptop. Both Toughbook® computers are designed for use in mission-critical situations by first responders, military personnel and field workers in such industries as telecommunications, utilities and energy.

Thanks Shawn. :D The other post in Linux Forum was getting too full.
Here is the one line fix (Terminal) to create a psmouse.conf.

Code: Select all

sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null
Re-boot.
Lurkers,
You would use this if you boot to a new OS (Linux) and the touch-pad does not work. Versapad is psmouse, NOT synaptics.

Thanks,

Jeff
