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
