NAME

     atp -- Apple touchpad driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into your kernel configuration file:

	   device atp
	   device usb

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   atp_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The atp driver provides support for the Apple Internal Trackpad device found in many Apple laptops. Older (Fountain/Geyser) and the newer
     (Wellspring) trackpad families are all supported through a unified driver.

     The driver simulates a three-button mouse using multi-finger tap detection.  Single finger tap generates a left-button click; two-finger tap
     maps to the middle button; whereas a three-finger tap gets treated as a right button click.

     There is support for 2-finger horizontal scrolling, which translates to page-back/forward events; vertical multi-finger scrolling emulates
     the mouse wheel.

     A double-tap followed by a drag is treated as a selection gesture; a virtual left-button click is assumed for the lifespan of the drag.

     atp supports dynamic reconfiguration using sysctl(8); through nodes under hw.usb.atp.  Pointer sensitivity can be controlled using the sysctl
     tunable hw.usb.atp.scale_factor.  Smaller values of scale_factor result in faster movement.  A simple high-pass filter is used to reduce con-
     tributions from small movements; the threshold for this filter may be controlled by hw.usb.atp.small_movement.  The maximum tolerable dura-
     tion of a touch gesture is controlled by hw.usb.atp.touch_timeout (in microseconds); beyond this period, touches are considered to be slides.
     (This conversion also happens when a finger stroke accumulates at least hw.usb.atp.slide_min_movement movement (in mickeys).  The maximum
     time (in microseconds) to allow an association between a double- tap and drag gesture may be controlled by hw.usb.atp.double_tap_threshold.
     Should one want to disable tap detection and rely only upon physical button presses, set the following sysctl to a value of 2
     hw.usb.atp.tap_minimum.

     To discover the product-id of a touchpad, search for 'Trackpad' in the output of lshal(1) and look up the property usb_device.product_id.

FILES

     atp creates a blocking pseudo-device file, /dev/atp0, which presents the mouse as a sysmouse or mousesystems type device--see moused(8) for
     an explanation of these mouse types.
