DESCRIPTIONws is an XFree86/X.Org input driver for pointer devices (mouse, tablet,
touchscreen,...) driven by the wscons console driver on OpenBSD.
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports zts(4), the touchscreen of Zaurus machines, and
uts(4), USB touchscreens.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details and for
options that can be used with all input drivers. This section only
covers configuration details specific to this driver.
Option "Buttons" "integer"
Specifies the number of mouse buttons. In cases where the number
of buttons cannot be auto-detected, the default value is 3.
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "boolean"
Enable/disable the emulation of the middle mouse button for mice
which only have two physical buttons. The third button is emulated
by pressing both buttons simultaneously. Default: on, until a mid‐
dle button event is detected.
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "integer"
Sets the timeout (in milliseconds) that the driver waits before
deciding if two buttons where pressed "simultaneously" when 3 but‐
ton emulation is enabled. Default: 50.
Option "DebugLevel" "integer"
This option sets the verbosity level of the driver. It defaults to
0, which means no extra debug output.
Option "Device" "path"
sets the path to the special file used by the device, ususally
/dev/wsmouse . This option is mandatory.
Option "MinX" "integer"
Option "MaxX" "integer"
Option "MinY" "integer"
Option "MaxY" "integer"
These options represent the coordinate space returned by the
device. They default to the screen dimensions, since the calibra‐
tion is handled in the kernel by the zts(4) driver and the ztss‐
cale(8) utility.
Option "Raw" "boolean"
This option selects the raw (uncalibrated) mode for tablet devices.
It defaults to True. When using raw mode, if no coordinate space
is specified by the above options, the coordinate space will be
read from the kernel calibration data.
Option "Rotate" "CW"
Option "Rotate" "CCW"
Option "Rotate" "UD"
These options rotate the screen coordinates returned by the driver
clockwise, counter-clockwise, or upside-down respectively.
Option "SwapXY" "boolean"
swaps the X and Y axis of the input device if set. Default: false.
Option "ZAxisMapping" "N1 N2"
Set the mapping for the Z axis (wheel) motion to buttons. Button
number N1 is mapped to the negative Z axis motion and button N2 is
mapped to the positive Z axis motion. Default: no mapping. Option
"WAxisMapping" "N1 N2" Set the mapping for the W axis (horizontal
wheel) motion to buttons. Button number N1 is mapped to the nega‐
tive W axis motion and button N2 is mapped to the positive W axis
motion. Default: no mapping.
SUPPORTED PROPERTIES
The following properties are provided by the ws driver.
WS Pointer Middle Button Emulation
1 boolean value (8 bit, 0 or 1)
WS Pointer Middle Button Timeout
1 16-bit positive value (unit: milliseconds)
WS Pointer Axis Calibration
4 32 bits values, in the order min-x, max-x, min-y, max-y. This
property is present only for devices with absolute coordinates
(ie tablets and touchscreens).
WS Pointer Axes Swap
1 boolean value (8 bits, 0 or 1). 1 swaps x/y axes. This prop‐
erty is present only for devices with absolute coordinates (ie
tablets and touchscreens).
