33.Sh NAME
34.Nm atp
35.Nd Apple touchpad driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into
38your kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device atp"
41.Cd "device usb"
42.Ed
43.Pp
44Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47atp_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver provides support for the Apple Internal Trackpad device found in many
53Apple laptops. Older (Fountain/Geyser) and the newer (Wellspring) trackpad
54families are all supported through a unified driver.
55.Pp
56The driver simulates a three\-button mouse using multi\-finger tap detection.
57Single finger tap generates a left\-button click; two\-finger tap maps to the
58middle button; whereas a three\-finger tap gets treated as a right button
59click.
60.Pp
61There is support for 2\-finger horizontal scrolling, which translates to
62page\-back/forward events; vertical multi\-finger scrolling emulates the mouse
63wheel.
64.Pp
65A double\-tap followed by a drag is treated as a selection gesture; a
66virtual left\-button click is assumed for the lifespan of the drag.
67.Pp
68.Nm
69supports dynamic reconfiguration using
70.Xr sysctl 8 ;
71through nodes under
72.Nm hw.usb.atp .
73Pointer sensitivity can be controlled using the sysctl tunable
74.Nm hw.usb.atp.scale_factor .
75Smaller values of
76.Fa scale_factor
77result in faster movement.
78.
79A simple high-pass filter is used to reduce contributions
80from small movements; the threshold for this filter may be controlled by
81.Nm hw.usb.atp.small_movement .
82.
83The maximum tolerable duration of a touch gesture is controlled by
84.Nm hw.usb.atp.touch_timeout
85(in microseconds); beyond this period, touches are considered to be slides.
86(This conversion also happens when a finger stroke accumulates at least
87.Nm hw.usb.atp.slide_min_movement
88movement (in mickeys).
89.
90The maximum time (in microseconds) to allow an association between a double-
91tap and drag gesture may be controlled by
92.Nm hw.usb.atp.double_tap_threshold .
93.
94Should one want to disable tap detection and rely only upon physical button
95presses, set the following sysctl to a value of 2
96.Nm hw.usb.atp.tap_minimum .
97.
