TPM (TOUCH_PAD_MODE) -- Set/display touchpad and mouse characteristics.
usage: TPM [-A|-R|-AR] [-S x y] [-O x y] [-H n] [-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, and -s is the only valid option.
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 can range from
-32768 to 32767. 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).
