       libinput-measure-touchpad-size - measure the size of a touchpad

SYNOPSIS

       libinput measure touchpad-size [--help] WxH [/dev/input/event0]

DESCRIPTION

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

       For          details           see           the           online           documentation           here:
       https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/absolute-coordinate-ranges.html

       This is a debugging tool only, its output may change at any time. Do not rely on the output.

       This tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the /dev/input/eventX nodes.

OPTIONS

       This tool must be provided the physical dimensions of the device in mm.  For example, if your touchpad is
       100mm wide and 55mm high, run this tool as libinput measure touchpad-size 100x55

       If a device node is given, this tool opens that device node. Otherwise, this tool searches for the  first
       node that looks like a touchpad and uses that node.
