DESCRIPTION

17       palmax is an Xorg input driver for the Palmax PD1000/PD1100
18
19       The  palmax driver functions as a pointer input device, and is normally
20       used as the X server's core pointer. It supports positioning and  mouse
21       buttons  using  the  touchscreen  display and lid buttons on the Palmax
22       machines.
23

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

25       Palmax PD1000, Palmax PD1100. In theory also any other system  using  a
26       TR88L803 wired to a serial port.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

29       Please refer to xorg.conf(5x) for general configuration details and for
30       options that can be used with all input  drivers.   This  section  only
31       covers configuration details specific to this driver.
32
33       The following driver options are supported
34
35       Option "MinX" "integer"
36              Set the left hand X value from the touchscreen, for calibration.
37
38       Option "MaxX" "integer"
39              Set  the  right  hand X value from the touchscreen, for calibra‐
40              tion.
41
42       Option "MinY" "integer"
43              Set the top Y value from the touchscreen, for calibration.
44
45       Option "MaxY" "integer"
46              Set the bottom Y value from the touchscreen, for calibration.
47
48       Option "Screen" "integer"
49              The screen to attach to the touchscreen when running with multi‐
50              ple screens.  The default is screen 0.
51
52       Option "Device" "string"
53              The  serial  port that is attached to the touchscreen interface.
54              On the Palmax PD1000 and PD1100 this is ttyS0.
55
56       Option "DeviceName" "string"
57              Set the X11 device name for the touchscreen.  This  defaults  to
58              TOUCHSCREEN.
59
60       Option "PortraitMode" "string"
61              Set  the display orientation. The default is "landscape" but you
62              can rotate the screen clockwise  ("portrait")  or  anticlockwise
63              ("portraitCCW").
64
65       Option "SwapXY" "boolean"
66              Swap the X and Y values on the display. The default is false.
67
68       Option "TapButton" "boolean"
69              Set  the  touchscreen  tap to act as mouse button 1. This allows
70              single handed operation except when using the menu buttons.  The
71              default is false.
72

BUGS

74       The  driver has been tested on the Palmax systems, the defaults reflect
75       the Palmax hardware and should work out of the box. No testing has been
76       done on other systems using the same digitizer.
77
78       Support for a double-tap menu button option would be nice.
79
80       The smoothing algorithm would benefit from real mathematics.
81
82       Xorg needs a nice calibration tool.
