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.
54Older (Fountain/Geyser) and the newer (Wellspring) trackpad
55families are all supported through a unified driver.
56.Pp
57The driver simulates a three\-button mouse using multi\-finger tap detection.
58Single finger tap generates a left\-button click; two\-finger tap maps to the
59middle button; whereas a three\-finger tap gets treated as a right button
60click.
61.Pp
62There is support for 2\-finger horizontal scrolling, which translates to
63page\-back/forward events; vertical multi\-finger scrolling emulates the mouse
64wheel.
65.Pp
66A double\-tap followed by a drag is treated as a selection gesture; a
67virtual left\-button click is assumed for the lifespan of the drag.
68.Pp
69.Nm
70supports dynamic reconfiguration using
71.Xr sysctl 8 ;
72through nodes under
73.Nm hw.usb.atp .
74Pointer sensitivity can be controlled using the sysctl tunable
75.Nm hw.usb.atp.scale_factor .
76Smaller values of
77.Fa scale_factor
78result in faster movement.
79.
80A simple high-pass filter is used to reduce contributions
81from small movements; the threshold for this filter may be controlled by
82.Nm hw.usb.atp.small_movement .
83.
84The maximum tolerable duration of a touch gesture is controlled by
85.Nm hw.usb.atp.touch_timeout
86(in microseconds); beyond this period, touches are considered to be slides.
87(This conversion also happens when a finger stroke accumulates at least
88.Nm hw.usb.atp.slide_min_movement
89movement (in mickeys).
90.
91The maximum time (in microseconds) to allow an association between a double-
92tap and drag gesture may be controlled by
93.Nm hw.usb.atp.double_tap_threshold .
94.
95Should one want to disable tap detection and rely only upon physical button
96presses, set the following sysctl to a value of 2
97.Nm hw.usb.atp.tap_minimum .
98.
