.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.LP
|
|
This program lets you change your Synaptics TouchPad driver for
|
|
XOrg/XFree86 server parameters while X is running.
|
|
|
|
For the -m and -h options, SHM must be enabled by setting the option SHMConfig
|
|
"on" in your XOrg/XFree86 configuration.

\fB\-m interval\fR
|
|
monitor changes to the touchpad state.
|
|
.
|
|
Interval specifies how often (in ms) to poll the touchpad state.
|
|
.
|
|
Whenever a change in the touchpad state is detected, one line of
|
|
output is generated that describes the current state of the touchpad.
|
|
This option is only available in SHM mode.
|
|
.
|
|
The following data is included in the output.
|
|
.RS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBtime\fR
|
|
Time in seconds since the logging was started.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBx,y\fR
|
|
The x/y coordinates of the finger on the touchpad.
|
|
.
|
|
The origin is in the upper left corner.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBz\fR
|
|
The "pressure" value.
|
|
.
|
|
Pressing the finger harder on the touchpad typically produces a larger
|
|
value.
|
|
.
|
|
Note that most touchpads don't measure the real pressure though.
|
|
.
|
|
Instead, capacitance is usually measured, which is correlated to the
|
|
contact area between the finger and the touchpad.
|
|
.
|
|
Since more pressure usually means a larger contact area, the reported
|
|
pressure value is at least indirectly related to the real pressure.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBf\fR
|
|
The number of fingers currently touching the touchpad.
|
|
.
|
|
Note that only some touchpads can report more than one finger.
|
|
.
|
|
Generally, synaptics touchpads can, but ALPS touchpads can't.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBw\fR
|
|
The w value is a measurement of the finger width.
|
|
.
|
|
This is only supported by some synaptics touchpads.
|
|
.
|
|
Touchpads that can't measure the finger width typically report a faked
|
|
constant value when a finger is touching the touchpad.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBl,r,u,d,m,multi\fR
|
|
The state of the left, right, up, down, middle and multi buttons.
|
|
.
|
|
Zero means not pressed, one means pressed.
|
|
.
|
|
Not all touchpads have all these buttons.
|
|
.
|
|
If a button doesn't exist, the value is always reported as 0.
