32.Nd eGalax touchscreen driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into
35your kernel configuration file:
36.Bd -ragged -offset indent
37.Cd "device uep"
38.Cd "device usb"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45uep_load="YES"

59The driver is a stub.
60It just probes and attaches to USB device, creates a device entry
61and feeds reassembled packets from the hardware to it.
62Depending on compile-time kernel options it supports either native
63or evdev operation modes.
