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 hid"
42.Cd "device usb"
43.Ed
44.Pp
45Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
46.Xr loader.conf 5 :
47.Bd -literal -offset indent
48atp_load="YES"
49.Ed
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm
53driver provides support for the Apple Internal Trackpad device found in many
54Apple laptops.
55Older (Fountain/Geyser) and the newer (Wellspring) trackpad
56families are all supported through a unified driver.
57.Pp
58The driver simulates a three\-button mouse using multi\-finger tap detection.
59Single finger tap generates a left\-button click; two\-finger tap maps to the
60middle button; whereas a three\-finger tap gets treated as a right button
61click.
62.Pp
63There is support for 2\-finger horizontal scrolling, which translates to
64page\-back/forward events; vertical multi\-finger scrolling emulates the mouse
65wheel.
66.Pp
67A double\-tap followed by a drag is treated as a selection gesture; a
68virtual left\-button click is assumed for the lifespan of the drag.
69.Pp
70.Nm
71supports dynamic reconfiguration using
72.Xr sysctl 8 ;
73through nodes under
74.Nm hw.usb.atp .
75Pointer sensitivity can be controlled using the sysctl tunable
76.Nm hw.usb.atp.scale_factor .
77Smaller values of
78.Fa scale_factor
79result in faster movement.
80.
81A simple high-pass filter is used to reduce contributions
82from small movements; the threshold for this filter may be controlled by
83.Nm hw.usb.atp.small_movement .
84.
85The maximum tolerable duration of a touch gesture is controlled by
86.Nm hw.usb.atp.touch_timeout
87(in microseconds); beyond this period, touches are considered to be slides.
88(This conversion also happens when a finger stroke accumulates at least
89.Nm hw.usb.atp.slide_min_movement
90movement (in mickeys).
91.
92The maximum time (in microseconds) to allow an association between a double-
93tap and drag gesture may be controlled by
94.Nm hw.usb.atp.double_tap_threshold .
95.
96Should one want to disable tap detection and rely only upon physical button
97presses, set the following sysctl to a value of 2
98.Nm hw.usb.atp.tap_minimum .
99.
