DESCRIPTION
ws is an XFree86/X.Org input driver for pointer devices (mouse, tablet,
touchscreen,...) driven by the wscons console driver on OpenBSD.
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports zts(4), the touchscreen of Zaurus machines, uts(4), USB
touchscreens and ums(4), generic USB mouse devices.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details and for options
that can be used with all input drivers. This section only covers
configuration details specific to this driver.
- Option "Buttons"
"integer"
- Specifies the number of mouse buttons. In cases where the
number of buttons cannot be auto-detected, the default value is 3.
- Option "Emulate3Buttons"
"boolean"
- Enable/disable the emulation of the middle mouse button for
mice which only have two physical buttons. The third button is emulated by
pressing both buttons simultaneously. Default: on, until a middle button
event is detected.
- Option "Emulate3Timeout"
"integer"
- Sets the timeout (in milliseconds) that the driver waits
before deciding if two buttons where pressed "simultaneously"
when 3 button emulation is enabled. Default: 50.
- Option "DebugLevel"
"integer"
- This option sets the verbosity level of the driver. It
defaults to 0, which means no extra debug output.
- Option "Device"
"path"
- sets the path to the special file used by the device,
ususally /dev/wsmouse . This option is mandatory.
- Option "MinX"
"integer"
- Option "MaxX"
"integer"
- Option "MinY"
"integer"
- Option "MaxY"
"integer"
- These options represent the coordinate space returned by
the device. They default to the screen dimensions, since the calibration
is handled in the kernel by the zts(4) driver and the ztsscale(8)
utility.
- Option "Raw"
"boolean"
- This option selects the raw (uncalibrated) mode for tablet
devices. It defaults to True. When using raw mode, if no coordinate space
is specified by the above options, the coordinate space will be read from
the kernel calibration data.
- Option "Rotate" "CW"
- Option "Rotate" "CCW"
- Option "Rotate" "UD"
- These options rotate the screen coordinates returned by the
driver clockwise, counter-clockwise, or upside-down respectively.
- Option "SwapXY"
"boolean"
- swaps the X and Y axis of the input device if set. Default:
false.
- Option "ZAxisMapping" "N1
N2"
- Set the mapping for the Z axis (wheel) motion to buttons.
Button number N1 is mapped to the negative Z axis motion and button
N2 is mapped to the positive Z axis motion. Default: no mapping.
Option "WAxisMapping" "N1 N2" Set
the mapping for the W axis (horizontal wheel) motion to buttons. Button
number N1 is mapped to the negative W axis motion and button
N2 is mapped to the positive W axis motion. Default: no
mapping.
SUPPORTED PROPERTIES
The following properties are provided by the
ws driver.
- WS Pointer Middle Button Emulation
- 1 boolean value (8 bit, 0 or 1)
- WS Pointer Middle Button Timeout
- 1 16-bit positive value (unit: milliseconds)
- WS Pointer Axis Calibration
- 4 32 bits values, in the order min-x, max-x, min-y, max-y.
This property is present only for devices with absolute coordinates (ie
tablets and touchscreens).
- WS Pointer Axes Swap
- 1 boolean value (8 bits, 0 or 1). 1 swaps x/y axes. This
property is present only for devices with absolute coordinates (ie tablets
and touchscreens).
