TOUCHPAD-EDGE-DETECTOR(1)   General Commands Manual  TOUCHPAD-EDGE-DETECTOR(1)

NAME
       touchpad-edge-detector -	print the axis ranges for a touchpad device

SYNOPSIS
       touchpad-edge-detector [--help] WxH /dev/input/eventX

DESCRIPTION
       The  touchpad-edge-detector  tool reads touchpad	events from the	kernel
       and records the minimum and maximum coordinates based  on  user	input.
       This  is	 an  interactive  tool,	the user must move a finger around the
       touchpad, attempting to trigger an event	at all edges of	the touchpad.

       To terminate the	event collection and print a summary, press Ctrl+C. It
       is recommended that the tool is run several times to guarantee a	 reli-
       able result.

OPTIONS
       WxH     The  width  and	height	of  the	touchpad in mm.	For a touchpad
	       100mm wide and 75mm high, the argument is thus 100x75. This  is
	       a required argument.

       /dev/input/eventX
	       The  event  node	of the touchpad	to read	events from. A list of
	       possible	event nodes can	be obtained with  either  one  of  the
	       following  commands:  libinput record, evemu-record, or evtest.
	       Alternatively the event node for	a device is listed in the Han-
	       dlers= line /proc/bus/input/devices.  This is a required	 argu-
	       ment.

       --help  Print a short help description

NOTES
       On completion, this tool	prints a summary of the	collected events and a
       suggested  udev rule. Due to rounding errors it is rare to get an exact
       match for the touchpad's	dimensions, but	any discrepancy	of  more  than
       5mm should be corrected with the	suggested udev rule.

       The  udev  rule should be simplified and	submitted as a pull request to
       the system repository at	https://github.com/systemd/systemd.  For  fur-
       ther guidance, see the file /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-evdev.hwdb.
