NAME
synclient - query and modify Synaptics TouchPad driver for
XOrg/XFree86 server parameters on the fly.
SYNTAX
synclient [-m interval]
synclient [-hlV?] [var1=value1 [var2=value2] ...]
DESCRIPTION
This program lets you change your Synaptics TouchPad driver for
XOrg/XFree86 server parameters while X is running if you enabled
SHMConfig "on" in your XOrg/XFree86 configuration.
WARNING: This is not secure if you are in an untrusted multiuser
environment.
.
All local users can change the parameters at any time.
OPTIONS
-m interval
monitor changes to the touchpad state.
.
Interval specifies how often (in ms) to poll the touchpad state.
.
Whenever a change in the touchpad state is detected, one line of
output is generated that describes the current state of the touchpad.
.
The following data is included in the output.
time
Time in seconds since the logging was started.
x,y
The x/y coordinates of the finger on the touchpad.
.
The origin is in the upper left corner.
z
The "pressure" value.
.
Pressing the finger harder on the touchpad typically produces a larger
value.
.
Note that most touchpads don't measure the real pressure though.
.
Instead, capacitance is usually measured, which is correlated to the
contact area between the finger and the touchpad.
.
Since more pressure usually means a larger contact area, the reported
pressure value is at least indirectly related to the real pressure.
f
The number of fingers currently touching the touchpad.
.
Note that only some touchpads can report more than one finger.
.
Generally, synaptics touchpads can, but ALPS touchpads can't.
w
The w value is a measurement of the finger width.
.
This is only supported by some synaptics touchpads.
.
Touchpads that can't measure the finger width typically report a faked
constant value when a finger is touching the touchpad.
l,r,u,d,m,multi
The state of the left, right, up, down, middle and multi buttons.
.
Zero means not pressed, one means pressed.
.
Not all touchpads have all these buttons.
.
If a button doesn't exist, the value is always reported as 0.
gl,gm,gr
Some touchpads have a "guest device".
.
This is typically a pointing stick located in the middle of the
keyboard.
.
Some guest devices have physical buttons, or can detect button presses
when tapping on the pointing stick.
.
Such button events are reported as "guest left", "guest middle" or
"guest right".
gdx,gdy
Pointer movements from the guest device are reported as relative x/y
positions, called gdx and gdy.
-h
Show detected hardware properties.
-l
List current user settings.
-V
Print version number and exit.
-?
Show the help message.
var=value
Set user parameter var to value.
FILES

EXAMPLES
To disable EdgeMotionSpeed:
synclient EdgeMotionSpeed=0
To monitor touchpad events:
synclient -m 100
