.TH xinput 1 __xorgversion__ .SH NAME xinput - utility to configure and test X input devices .SH SYNOPSIS .B xinput [OPTIONS] [DEVICE] .SH DESCRIPTION xinput is a utility to list available input devices, query information about a device and change input device settings. .SH OPTIONS .TP 8 .B --version Test if the X Input extension is available and return the version number of the program and the version supported by the server. This option does not require a device name. .PP .TP 8 .B --list [--short || --long] [\fIdevice\fP] If no argument is given list all the input devices. If an argument is given, show all the features of \fIdevice\fP. If --long is provided, the output includes detailed information about the capabilities of each devices. Otherwise, or if --short is provided, only the device names and some minimal information is listed. .PP .TP 8 .B --get-feedbacks \fIdevice\fP Display the feedbacks of \fIdevice\fP. .PP .TP 8 .B --set-pointer \fIdevice\fP Switch \fIdevice\fP in core pointer. This option does nothing on X servers 1.5 and later. .PP .TP 8 .B --set-mode \fIdevice\fP \fIABSOLUTE|RELATIVE\fP Change the mode of \fIdevice\fP. .PP .TP 8 .B --set-ptr-feedback \fIdevice\fP \fIthreshold\fP \fInum\fP \fIdenom\fP Change the pointer acceleration (or feedback) parameters of \fIdevice\fP. The xset(1) man page has more details. For X.Org Server 1.7 and above, there are additional device properties pertaining to pointer acceleration. These do not replace, but complement the pointer feedback setting. .PP .TP 8 .B --set-integer-feedback \fIdevice\fP \fIindex\fP \fIvalue\fP Change the value of an integer feedback of \fIdevice\fP. .PP .TP 8 .B --set-button-map \fIdevice\fP \fImap_button_1\fP [\fImap_button_2\fP [\fI...\fP]] Change the button mapping of \fIdevice\fP. The buttons are specified in physical order (starting with button 1) and are mapped to the logical button provided. 0 disables a button. The default button mapping for a device is 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc. .PP .TP 8 .B --query-state \fIdevice\fP Query the device state. .PP .TP 8 .B --list-props \fIdevice\fP [\fIdevice\fP [\fI...\fP]] Lists properties that can be set for the given device(s). .PP .TP 8 .B --set-int-prop \fIdevice\fP \fIproperty\fP \fIformat\fP \fIvalue\fP Sets an integer property for the device. Appropriate values for \fIformat\fP are 8, 16, or 32, depending on the property. Deprecated, use .B --set-prop instead. .PP .TP 8 .B --set-float-prop \fIdevice\fP \fIproperty\fP \fIvalue\fP Sets a float property for the device. Deprecated, use .B --set-prop instead. .PP .TP 8 .B --set\-prop [\-\-type=\fIatom|float|int\fP] [\-\-format=\fI8|16|32\fP] \fIdevice\fP \fIproperty\fP \fIvalue\fP [...] Set the property to the given value(s). If not specified, the format and type of the property are left as-is. The arguments are interpreted according to the property type. .PP .TP 8 .B --watch-props \fIdevice\fP Prints to standard out when property changes occur. .PP .TP 8 .B --delete-prop \fIdevice\fP \fIproperty\fP Delete the property from the device. .PP .TP 8 .B --test [-proximity] \fIdevice\fP Register all extended events from \fIdevice\fP and enter an endless loop displaying events received. If the -proximity is given, ProximityIn and ProximityOut are registered. .PP .TP 8 .B --test_xi2 Register for a number of XI2 events and display them. This option does not take a device argument. .PP .TP 8 .B --create-master \fIprefix\fP [sendCore] [enable] Create a new pair of master devices on an XI2-enabled server with the given \fIprefix\fP. The server will create one master pointer named "\fIprefix\fP pointer" and one master keyboard named "\fIprefix\fP keyboard". If \fIsendCore\fP is 1, this pair of master devices is set to send core events (default). If \fIenable\fP is 1, this master device pair will be enabled immediately (default). .PP .TP 8 .B --remove-master \fImaster\fP [Floating|AttachToMaster] [returnPointer] [returnKeyboard] Remove \fImaster\fP and its paired master device. Attached slave devices are set floating if \fIFloating\fP is specified or the argument is omitted. If the second argument is \fIAttachToMaster\fP, \fIreturnPointer\fP specifies the master pointer to attach all slave pointers to and \fIreturnKeyboard\fP specifies the master keyboard to attach all slave keyboards to. .PP .TP 8 .B --reattach \fIslave\fP \fImaster\fP Reattach \fIslave\fP to \fImaster\fP. .PP .TP 8 .B --float \fIslave\fP Remove \fIslave\fP from its current master device. .PP .TP 8 .B --set-cp \fIwindow\fP \fImaster\fP Set the ClientPointer for the client owning \fIwindow\fP to \fImaster\fP. \fImaster\fP must specify a master pointer. .PP \fIdevice\fP can be the device name as a string or the XID of the device. .PP \fIslave\fP can be the device name as a string or the XID of a slave device. .PP \fImaster\fP can be the device name as a string or the XID of a master device. .PP \fIproperty\fP can be the property as a string or the Atom value. .PP .SH "SEE ALSO" X(__miscmansuffix__), xset(1) .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright 1996,1997, Frederic Lepied. .PP Copyright 2008, Philip Langdale. .SH AUTHORS .nf Philip Langdale, Frederic Lepied, France Peter Hutterer Julien Cristau Thomas Jaeger and more. .fi
