CYAPA(4)	       FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		      CYAPA(4)

NAME
     cyapa -- Cypress APA trackpad with	I2C interface driver

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

	   device cyapa
	   device ig4
	   device smbus

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

	   cyapa_load="YES"
	   ig4_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The cyapa driver provides support for the Cypress APA trackpad.  It emu-
     lates the IntelliMouse PS/2 protocol.  It supports	basic mouse ioctls, so
     that moused(8) is supported properly.

   Trackpad layout
			2/3		  1/3
	       +--------------------+------------+
	       |		    |	Middle	 |
	       |		    |	Button	 |
	       |       Left	    |		 |
	       |      Button	    +------------+
	       |		    |	Right	 |
	       |		    |	Button	 |
	       +--------------------+............|
	       |     Thumb/Button Area		 | 15%
	       +---------------------------------+

   Trackpad features
     Two finger	scrolling
	       Use two fingers for Z axis scrolling.

     Button down/second	finger
	       While one finger	clicks and holds down the touchpad, the	second
	       finger can be used to move the mouse cursor.  This can be use-
	       ful for drawing or selecting text.

     Thumb/Button area
	       The lower 15% of	the trackpad will not affect the mouse cursor
	       position.  This allows for high precision clicking, by control-
	       ling the	cursor with the	index finger and pushing/holding the
	       pad down	with the thumb.

     Trackpad button
	       Push physical button.  The left two thirds of the pad issues a
	       LEFT button event.  The upper right corner issues a MIDDLE but-
	       ton event.  The lower right corner issues a RIGHT button.
	       Optionally, tap to click	can be enabled (see below).

SYSCTL VARIABLES
     These sysctl(8) variables are available:

     debug.cyapa_idle_freq
	       Scan frequency in idle mode, the	default	is 1.

     debug.cyapa_slow_freq
	       Scan frequency in slow mode, the	default	is 20.

     debug.cyapa_norm_freq
	       Scan frequency in normal	mode, the default is 100.

     debug.cyapa_minpressure
	       Minimum pressure	to detect a finger, the	default	is 12.

     debug.cyapa_enable_tapclick
	       Controls	tap to click.  Possible	values:

	       0	 Tap to	click is disabled.  This is the	default	value.

	       1	 Tap to	click always generates a left mouse button
			 event.

	       2	 Tap to	click generates	left mouse button event	if the
			 left 2/3rds of	the pad	are tapped and a right mouse
			 button	event otherwise.

	       3	 Tap to	click generates	mouse button events as if the
			 physical button was pressed (see DESCRIPTION above).

     debug.cyapa_tapclick_min_ticks
	       Minimum tap duration in ticks to	create a click,	the default is
	       1.

     debug.cyapa_tapclick_max_ticks
	       Maximum tap duration in ticks to	create a click,	the default is
	       8.

     debug.cyapa_move_min_ticks
	       Minimum ticks before cursor movement occurs, the	default	is 4.

     debug.cyapa_scroll_wait_ticks
	       Ticks to	wait before starting to	scroll,	the default is 0.

     debug.cyapa_scroll_stick_ticks
	       Ticks while preventing cursor movement on single	finger after
	       scroll, the default is 15.

     debug.cyapa_thumbarea_percent
	       Size of bottom thumb area in percent, the default is 15.

     debug.cyapa_debug
	       Setting this to a non-zero value	enables	debug output to	con-
	       sole and	syslog,	the default is 0.

     debug.cyapa_reset
	       Setting this to a non-zero value	reinitializes the device.  The
	       sysctl resets to	zero immediately.

FILES
     cyapa creates /dev/cyapa0,	which presents the mouse as an IntelliMouse
     PS/2 device.  It supports moused(8) levels	0 through 2, level 1 is	used
     by	default.

EXAMPLES
     To	use cyapa with moused(8), add the following lines to the rc.conf(5)
     file:

	   moused_enable="YES"
	   moused_port="/dev/cyapa0"

     If	vertical scrolling is not desired, add

	   moused_flags="-l0"

     to	rc.conf(5).

     Enable tap	to click for the left and the right mouse button and disable
     the thumb area by adding these lines to the sysctl.conf(5)	file:

	   debug.cyapa_thumbarea_percent=0
	   debug.cyapa_enable_tapclick=2

AUTHORS
     The original cyapa	driver was written for DragonFly BSD by	Matthew
     Dillon.

     It	has been ported, modified, and enhanced	for FreeBSD by Michael Gmelin
     <freebsd@grem.de>.

     This manual page was written by Michael Gmelin <freebsd@grem.de>.

BUGS
     The cyapa driver detects the device based on its I2C address (0x67).
     This might	have unforeseen	consequences if	the initialization sequence is
     sent to an	unknown	device at that address.
