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
45module 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
54device found in many Apple laptops.
55.Pp
56The driver simulates a three\-button mouse using multi\-finger tap
57detection.
58.
59A single\-finger tap generates a left button click;
60two\-finger tap maps to the middle button; whereas a three\-finger tap
61gets treated as a right button click.
62.
63A double\-tap followed by a drag is treated as a selection gesture; a
64virtual left\-button click is assumed for the lifespan of the drag.
65.
66.Nm
67attempts to filter away activity at the horizontal edges of the
68trackpad\-\-this is to keep unintentional palm movement from being
69considered as user input.
70.
71.Pp
72.Nm
73supports dynamic reconfiguration using
74.Xr sysctl 8 ;
75through nodes under
76.Nm hw.usb.atp .
77Pointer sensitivity can be controlled using the sysctl tunable
78.Nm hw.usb.atp.scale_factor .
79.
80.Sh HARDWARE
81The
82.Nm
83driver provides support for the following Product IDs:
84.Pp
85.Bl -bullet -compact
86.It
87Core Duo MacBook & MacBook Pro (IDs: 0x0217, 0x0218, 0x0219)
88.It
89Core2 Duo MacBook & MacBook Pro (IDs: 0x021a, 0x021b, 0x021c)
90.It
91Core2 Duo MacBook3,1 (IDs: 0x0229, 0x022a, 0x022b)
92.It
9312 inch PowerBook and iBook (IDs: 0x030a, 0x030b)
94.It
9515 inch PowerBook (IDs: 0x020e, 0x020f, 0x0215)
96.It
9717 inch PowerBook (ID: 0x020d)
98.El
99.Pp
100To discover the product\-id of a touchpad, search for 'Trackpad' in the
101output of
102.Xr lshal 1
103and look up the property
104.Nm usb_device.product_id .
105.Sh FILES
106.Nm
107creates a blocking pseudo\-device file,
108.Pa /dev/atp0 ,
109which presents the mouse as a
110.Ar sysmouse
111or
112.Ar mousesystems
113type device\-\-see
114.Xr moused 8
115for an explanation of these mouse
116types.
117.Xr moused 8
118can be configured to read touchpad data from
119.Pa /dev/atp0
120and pass it along to the
121.Xr sysmouse 4
122driver so that any process wanting to utilize mouse operation (such as
123an X server) may fetch it from
124.Pa /dev/sysmouse ;
125alternatively,
126.Pa /dev/atp0
127may be manipulated via
128.Xr read 2
129and
130.Xr ioctl 2
131calls to get mouse data directly.
132.Sh EXAMPLES
133To use a compatible Apple Trackpad as your console mouse:
134.Pp
135.Dl moused -p /dev/atp0 -t auto
136.Pp
137To launch
138.Xr moused 8
139automatically upon boot, add the following to
140.Pa /etc/rc.conf :
141.Pp
142.Dl moused_enable="YES"
143.Dl moused_type="auto"
144.Dl moused_port="/dev/atp0"
145.Pp
146If you want
147.Xr moused 8
148to also probe for external USB mice or other devices, then add the
149following to
150.Pa /etc/rc.conf :
151.Pp
152.Dl moused_nondefault_enable="YES"
153.Dl moused_ums0_enable="YES"
154.Dl moused_ums1_enable="YES"
155.Pp
156To be able to use the trackpad under X, change the "Pointer" section in
157.Nm xorg.conf
158to the following:
159.Pp
160.Dl Device "/dev/atp0"
161.Dl Protocol "Auto"
162.Pp
163Better still, if you want to be able to use the mouse in both virtual
164consoles as well as in X change it to:
165.Pp
166.Dl Device "/dev/sysmouse"
167.Dl Protocol "Auto"
