.Sh NAME
.Nm atp
.Nd Apple touchpad driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into
your kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device atp"
.Cd "device hid"
.Cd "device usb"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
atp_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
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.
.Pp
The driver simulates a three\-button mouse using multi\-finger tap detection.
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.
.Pp
There is support for 2\-finger horizontal scrolling, which translates to
page\-back/forward events; vertical multi\-finger scrolling emulates the mouse
wheel.
.Pp
A double\-tap followed by a drag is treated as a selection gesture; a
virtual left\-button click is assumed for the lifespan of the drag.
.Pp
.Nm
supports dynamic reconfiguration using
.Xr sysctl 8 ;
through nodes under
.Nm hw.usb.atp .
Pointer sensitivity can be controlled using the sysctl tunable
.Nm hw.usb.atp.scale_factor .
Smaller values of
.Fa scale_factor
result in faster movement.
.
A simple high-pass filter is used to reduce contributions
from small movements; the threshold for this filter may be controlled by
.Nm hw.usb.atp.small_movement .
.
The maximum tolerable duration of a touch gesture is controlled by
.Nm hw.usb.atp.touch_timeout
(in microseconds); beyond this period, touches are considered to be slides.
(This conversion also happens when a finger stroke accumulates at least
.Nm 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
.Nm 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
.Nm hw.usb.atp.tap_minimum .
.

.El
.Pp
To discover the product\-id of a touchpad, search for 'Trackpad' in the
output of
.Xr lshal 1
and look up the property
.Nm usb_device.product_id .
.Sh FILES
.Nm
creates a blocking pseudo\-device file,
.Pa /dev/atp0 ,
which presents the mouse as a
.Ar sysmouse
or
.Ar mousesystems
type device\-\-see
.Xr moused 8
for an explanation of these mouse
types.
