MOUSEEMU(8) System Manager's Manual MOUSEEMU(8) NAME
mouseemu - Emulate mouse buttons and mouse wheel SYNOPSIS
mouseemu [options] DESCRIPTION
Mouseemu is a daemon to emulate mouse buttons on trackpads with only one button. It lets you: - emulate middle and right click - emulate mouse wheel - block trackpad while typing It was initially developed for Apple PowerBooks and iBooks, but it may be useful on other architectures as well. This program only works when booting a 2.6 kernel because it uses the new uinput interface to emulate the mouse. OPTIONS
-middle B2_MOD B2_KEY Modifier and key for the middle (second) mouse button. Defaults to F10 and no modifier on PowerPC and Intel Macs, and to none on all other architectures. -right B3_MOD B3_KEY Modifier and key for the right (third) mouse button. Defaults to F11 and no modifier on PowerPC and Intel Macs, and to none on all other architectures. -scroll SCROLL_MOD Modifier for the scrolling function. Defaults to Alt. -typing-block DELAY Time in milliseconds for which the trackpad will be blocked while typing on the keyboard. Defaults to 300ms. -device UINPUT Device node for the uinput device. Defaults to /dev/uinput. If this device is not read and writeable the following devices are also tried: /dev/uinput, /dev/input/uinput and /dev/misc/uinput. -nofork don't run in the background -autorescan Automatically scan every 5s for new devices. This is normally not need, as udev should inform mouseemu about new devices. -debug print debugging messages about device scans -help show usage message The key codes for the buttons and modifiers are key scancodes. They can be found in include/linux/input.h in the kernel headers or by using `showkey` in a console. The keycodes must be given as decimal values (`showkey` displays hex values!). Mouseemu does normally not automatically scan for new devices. An udev rule is used to trigger a rescan when new devices are connected. You can also trigger a rescan manually by sending a HUP signal to the mouseemu process. EXAMPLES
To have the same behaviour as in MacOS X (CTRL-click for right mouse button and no emulation for the middle button): mouseemu -middle 0 0 -right 29 272 The code for the (left) mouse button is 272 (0x110 in hex). The code for CTRL is 29. Trigger a rescan for newly attached devices: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mouseemu.pid` AUTHOR
