NAME

       tpconfig - Configure touchpad devices

SYNOPSIS

       tpconfig [ OPTIONS ]

DESCRIPTION

       This program can show or modify the configuration of several different kinds of touchpad devices, including most Synaptics TouchPad devices
       and the ALPS Glidepad/Stickpointer.

       Options for all touchpads:

       --help Display a help summary and exit.

       -D [N], --debug[=N]
	      Generate debugging output, where N of 1, 2, or 3 specifies the debugging level.  If N is 0, debugging is turned off.  If	N  is  not
	      given, it defaults to 1.

       -d DEVICE, --device=DEVICE
	      Use DEVICE as the device file for the mouse.  If this option isn't given, the device file /dev/psaux is used.

       --version
	      Display the version and copyright information and exit.

       -i, --info
	      Display the current touchpad configuration.

       -x, --reset
	      Perform a software reset on the touchpad.

       Options for all Synaptics TouchPads:

       -q, --quiet, --silent
	      Suppress verbose output.

       -a [N] Display the packet mode.	With argument N, set the packet mode, where N=0 means relative and N=1 means absolute.

       --absolute
	      Set the packet mode to absolute.

       --relative
	      Set the packet mode to relative.

       -r [N], --rate[=N]
	      Display the reporting rate.  With argument N, set the reporting rate, where N=0 means normal, and N=1 means high.

       Options for older Synaptics TouchPads only:

       -t [N], --tapmode[=N]
	      Display the tapping mode.  With argument N, set the tapping mode, where N=0 means no tap gestures, and N=1 means tap and drag.

       -s [N], --sleep[=N]
	      Display the sleep mode.  With argument N, set the sleep mode, where N=0 means disable, and N=1 means enable.

       Options for newer Synaptics TouchPads only:

       -t [N], --tapmode[=N]
	      Display  the tapping mode.  With argument N, set the tapping mode, where N=0 means no tap gestures, N=1 means tap-to-click only, N=2
	      means tap and non-locking drag, and N=3 means tap and locking drag.

       -2, --two-button
	      Set two-button mode.

       -3, --three-button
	      Set three-button mode.

       -c [N], --corner[=N]
	      Display the corner-tap mode.  With argument N, set the corner-tap mode, where N=0 means disable, and N=1 means enable.

       -e [N], --edgemode[=N]
	      Display edge motion.  With argument N, set edge motion, where N=0 means never, N=1 means always, and N=3 means only during drag.

       -m     Display which mouse button is simulated by corner taps.

       --middle-button
	      Make corner taps simulate the middle mouse button.

       --right-button
	      Make corner taps simulate the right mouse button.

       -z [N], --zthreshold[=N]
	      Display the z threshold setting (tap sensitivity).  With argument N, set the z threshold setting to N.

       --threshold[=N]
	      (Same as --zthreshold.)

       Options for ALPS touchpads:

       -r, --reset
	      Reset ALPS device.

       -t [N], --tapmode[=N]
	      Display the tapping mode.  With argument N, set the tapping mode, where N=0 means tapping disabled, and N=1 means tapping enabled.

EXAMPLES

       Often it's desirable to disable tap mode, to prevent mouse events from being generated when the hand brushes the touchpad:

       tpconfig --tapmode=0
