DESCRIPTION

12       The  libinput  measure touchpad-size tool measures the size of a touch‐
13       pad. This is an interactive tool. When executed, the tool  will  prompt
14       the  user  to  interact  with  the  touchpad. The tool records the axis
15       ranges and calculates the size and resolution based on those. On termi‐
16       nation,  the  tool  prints  a  hwdb  entry  that  can  be  added to the
17       60-evdev.hwdb file provided by system.

OPTIONS

30       This tool must be provided the physical dimensions of the device in mm.
31       For  example,  if  your  touchpad is 100mm wide and 55mm high, run this
32       tool as libinput measure touchpad-size 100x55
33
34       If a device node is given, this tool opens that device node. Otherwise,
35       this  tool  searches  for the first node that looks like a touchpad and
36       uses that node.
