Finished the driver yesterday and submitted a patch to the kernel:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/30/629 Hope they'll accept it. Anyway,
anyone can take the source from there: https://github.com/o2genum
/ideapad-slidebar and build it as a module against your current
kernel.Testing is needed, as I only added IdeaPad Y550P as supported
model. On other models, should be loaded with force=true parameter. More
docs in the source. If it works on your laptop, send me the cat of your
/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias

Title:
  Lenovo touch inductive SlideNav panel not work

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Lenovo Yxx0 laptops have a touch inductive panel http://www.gigamark.com/images/stories/8/Lenovo_y550/Untitled-4.jpg contains the pretty cool navigation slidebar http://www.fcenter.ru/img/article/notebooks/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Y550P/152399.jpg
  How SlideNav should work:
  User assign applications to the numbers. When user want to launch one of them, they touch slidenav in any place (touch but did not raise finger), after that driver show applications list on the screen http://www.fcenter.ru/img/article/notebooks/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Y550P/152341.jpg User move finger to the lift or to the right, until needed application was selected on the screen. After apllication selected user raise finger and this application started.

  I tried use tp-smapi-dkms for detect slidenav buttons, but it's not work for me with error: No such device.
  Even if I was able to detect slidenav buttons it's not enough - there need a program that works like an official Lenovo driver (show applications list when user touch panel).
