Hello everyone,

This code has always just worked for me with magic mouse 2 and is excelent- I have reinstalled after upgrading to ubuntu 20.04 and performed the troubleshooting steps on the read.me, to no avail:

[   826.825] (**) rabbit’s Mouse: Applying InputClass "libinput pointer catchall"
[   826.825] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'rabbit’s Mouse'

sudo insmod ./hid-magicmouse.ko executes without an error

I've never dabbled in any driver development before and am probably too newbie to solve this myself but i'm happy to be the guinea pig before anybody elses system breaks...

Hi christianlaurent1992, I was able to install the magic mouse (2 I believe) but it took a few different approaches until it finally worked for me. I haven't gone back to confirm all is needed but I can list what I tried that is now operational with horizontal/vertical scroll. Maybe one of these will work for you. The two links below were most helpful.

Install/configure as follows:

sudo apt install pi-bluetooth
sudo apt install dkms
git clone https://github.com/rohitpid/Linux-Magic-Trackpad-2-Driver.git
cd Linux-Magic-Trackpad-2-Driver/scripts
chmod u+x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

Edit /boot/firmware/syscfg.txt
sudo nano /boot/firmware/syscfg.txt

Add the following line to the end of the file:
include btcfg.txt

Execute the following commands:

sudo rmmod hid_magicmouse
sudo modprobe hid_magicmouse emulate_3button=0 scroll_acceleration=1 scroll_speed=55

vvvv The below may not be necessary vvvvv

Edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-magictrackpad.conf file:
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-magictrackpad.conf
Add the following lines to the new file:

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier      "Touchpads"
  Driver          "libinput"
  MatchProduct    "Apple Inc. Magic Trackpad 2"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection

^^^^ The above may not be necessary ^^^^^

To get the results of the installation and further configure mouse:
Get systool command by installing the following:
sudo apt install sysfsutils

$ systool -avm hid_magicmouse
Module = "hid_magicmouse"

  Attributes:
    coresize            = "20480"
    initsize            = "0"
    initstate           = "live"
    refcnt              = "0"
    srcversion          = "3D17F9A341D5471ADBEC2A6"
    taint               = "OE"
    uevent              = <store method only>

  Parameters:
    emulate_3button     = "N"
    emulate_scroll_wheel= "Y"
    middle_click_3finger= "N"
    report_undeciphered = "N"
    scroll_acceleration = "Y"
    scroll_speed        = "55"

Yes, same here with manual configuration execution after every reboot. There should be some way to have it execute during the boot sequence but in all my attempts, the script can't connect to the X server or display. Any suggestions there are welcome. Also part of my configuration script, I parse the xinput string to determine the mouse and command id to set the desired parameters.

As for three finger control, we don't know how that's supposed to work or why. So, I don't have anything to report about that feature. Horizontal scroll does work, however.
