NAME
       tpconfig - Configure touchpad devices

SYNOPSIS
       tpconfig [ OPTIONS ]

DESCRIPTION
       This  program can show or modify the configuration of several different
       kinds of touchpad devices, including most  Synaptics  TouchPad  devices
       and the ALPS Glidepad/Stickpointer.

       Options for all touchpads:

       --help Display a help summary and exit.

       -D [N], --debug[=N]
              Generate  debugging  output, where N of 1, 2, or 3 specifies the
              debugging level.  If N is 0, debugging is turned off.  If  N  is
              not given, it defaults to 1.

       -d DEVICE, --device=DEVICE
              Use  DEVICE  as  the  device file for the mouse.  If this option
              isn't given, the device file /dev/psaux is used.

       --version
              Display the version and copyright information and exit.

       -i, --info
              Display the current touchpad configuration.

       -x, --reset
              Perform a software reset on the touchpad.

       Options for all Synaptics TouchPads:

       -q, --quiet, --silent
              Suppress verbose output.

       -a [N] Display the packet mode.  With argument N, set the packet  mode,
              where N=0 means relative and N=1 means absolute.

       --absolute
              Set the packet mode to absolute.

       --relative
              Set the packet mode to relative.

       -r [N], --rate[=N]
              Display  the reporting rate.  With argument N, set the reporting
              rate, where N=0 means normal, and N=1 means high.

       Options for older Synaptics TouchPads only:

       -t [N], --tapmode[=N]
              Display the tapping mode.  With  argument  N,  set  the  tapping
              mode,  where  N=0  means  no tap gestures, and N=1 means tap and
              drag.

       -s [N], --sleep[=N]
              Display the sleep mode.  With argument N, set  the  sleep  mode,
              where N=0 means disable, and N=1 means enable.

       Options for newer Synaptics TouchPads only:

       -t [N], --tapmode[=N]
              Display  the  tapping  mode.   With  argument N, set the tapping
              mode, where N=0 means no tap gestures,  N=1  means  tap-to-click
              only,  N=2 means tap and non-locking drag, and N=3 means tap and
              locking drag.

       -2, --two-button
              Set two-button mode.

       -3, --three-button
              Set three-button mode.

       -c [N], --corner[=N]
              Display the corner-tap mode.  With argument N, set  the  corner-
              tap mode, where N=0 means disable, and N=1 means enable.

       -e [N], --edgemode[=N]
              Display  edge  motion.   With argument N, set edge motion, where
              N=0 means never, N=1 means always, and  N=3  means  only  during
              drag.

       -m     Display which mouse button is simulated by corner taps.

       --middle-button
              Make corner taps simulate the middle mouse button.

       --right-button
              Make corner taps simulate the right mouse button.

       -z [N], --zthreshold[=N]
              Display  the  z threshold setting (tap sensitivity).  With argu‐
              ment N, set the z threshold setting to N.

       --threshold[=N]
              (Same as --zthreshold.)

       Options for ALPS touchpads:

       -r, --reset
              Reset ALPS device.

       -t [N], --tapmode[=N]
              Display the tapping mode.  With  argument  N,  set  the  tapping
              mode,  where  N=0  means tapping disabled, and N=1 means tapping
              enabled.

EXAMPLES
       Often it's desirable to disable tap mode, to prevent mouse events  from
       being generated when the hand brushes the touchpad:

       tpconfig --tapmode=0
