NAME
     atp -- Apple touchpad driver

SYNOPSIS
     To	compile	this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into
     your kernel configuration file:

	   device atp
	   device hid
	   device usb

     Alternatively, to load the	driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   atp_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The atp driver provides support for the Apple Internal Trackpad device
     found in many Apple laptops.  Older (Fountain/Geyser) and the newer
     (Wellspring) trackpad families are	all supported through a	unified
     driver.

     The driver	simulates a three-button mouse using multi-finger tap detec-
     tion.  Single finger tap generates	a left-button click; two-finger	tap
     maps to the middle	button;	whereas	a three-finger tap gets	treated	as a
     right button click.

     There is support for 2-finger horizontal scrolling, which translates to
     page-back/forward events; vertical	multi-finger scrolling emulates	the
     mouse wheel.

     A double-tap followed by a	drag is	treated	as a selection gesture;	a vir-
     tual left-button click is assumed for the lifespan	of the drag.

     atp supports dynamic reconfiguration using	sysctl(8); through nodes under
     hw.usb.atp.  Pointer sensitivity can be controlled	using the sysctl tun-
     able hw.usb.atp.scale_factor.  Smaller values of scale_factor result in
     faster movement.  A simple	high-pass filter is used to reduce contribu-
     tions from	small movements; the threshold for this	filter may be con-
     trolled by	hw.usb.atp.small_movement.  The	maximum	tolerable duration of
     a touch gesture is	controlled by hw.usb.atp.touch_timeout (in microsec-
     onds); beyond this	period,	touches	are considered to be slides.  (This
     conversion	also happens when a finger stroke accumulates at least
     hw.usb.atp.slide_min_movement movement (in	mickeys).  The maximum time
     (in microseconds) to allow	an association between a double- tap and drag
     gesture may be controlled by hw.usb.atp.double_tap_threshold.  Should one
     want to disable tap detection and rely only upon physical button presses,
     set the following sysctl to a value of 2 hw.usb.atp.tap_minimum.

	 0x023f, 0x0240, 0x0241, 0x0242, 0x0243, 0x0244, 0x0245, 0x0246,
	 0x0247, 0x0249, 0x024a, 0x024b, 0x024c, 0x024d, 0x024e, 0x0252,
	 0x0252, 0x0253, 0x0253, 0x0254, 0x0254, 0x0259, 0x025a, 0x025b,
	 0x0262, 0x0262, 0x0263, 0x0264, 0x0290, 0x0291, 0x0292)

     To	discover the product-id	of a touchpad, search for 'Trackpad' in	the
     output of lshal(1)	and look up the	property usb_device.product_id.

FILES
     atp creates a blocking pseudo-device file,	/dev/atp0, which presents the
     mouse as a	sysmouse or mousesystems type device--see moused(8) for	an ex-
     planation of these	mouse types.

     moused(8),	sysctl(8)

AUTHORS
     The atp driver was	written	by Rohit Grover	<rgrover1@gmail.com>.
