TPM (TOUCH_PAD_MODE) -- Set or display characteristics for the touchpad
and mouse.
usage: TPM [-A|-R|-AR] [-S xscale yscale] [-O xorigin yorigin]
[-H hysteresis] [-RERANGE]
FORMAT
TPM [options]
TPM allows you to define characteristics for the touchpad and mouse.
The touchpad operates in one of three modes: absolute, relative, and
absolute/relative. The mode of operation establishes how movements of
your finger on the touchpad affect the position of the cursor on the screen.
The three modes differ primarily in how the cursor moves when you lift
your finger from the touchpad and then replace it.
See the TPM command description in the "DOMAIN System Command Reference
Manual" for complete details about the various modes and their use.
The mouse operates in relative mode only.
OPTIONS
If no options are specified, TPM displays the current touchpad
characteristics. (Default options are indicated by "(D)".)
-A (D) Select absolute mode.
-R Select relative mode.
-AR Select absolute/relative mode.
-RERANGE Set prescaling factors for touchpad data.
-S x y Set scaling factors for x and y. Values must be in
raster units, and can range from 1 to 1024. The
default scaling factors are 799 for x and 1023 for
y (portrait displays); and 1023 for x and 799 for y
(landscape displays).
-O x y Set x and y as the origin for absolute mode. Values
must be in raster units, and can range from 0 to 1023.
The default origin is 0,0.
-H n Set the hysteresis box size. The value must be in
raster units, and can range from 0 to 1023. The default
is 5.
EXAMPLES
$ TPM Display current characteristics
Mode: absolute
Xscale: 1024, Yscale: 800
Hysteresis: 5
Origin: 0, 0
$ TPM -ar -s 400 512 Set characteristics to absolute/relative
mode with half the default scaling
sensitivity (portrait display).
