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 iicbus

     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"

     On many Chromebook models this driver can be automatically configured with the help of the
     chromebook_platform(4) driver.  Alternatively, the
     cyapa driver can be manually configured in /boot/device.hints:
     hint.cyapa.0.at="iicbus0"
     hint.cyapa.0.addr="0xCE"
     hint.cyapa.1.at="iicbus1"
     hint.cyapa.1.addr="0xCE"

DESCRIPTION

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

   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 useful 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 controlling 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 button event.  The lower right corner
               issues a RIGHT button.  Optionally, tap to click can be enabled (see below).

     On a system using device.hints(5), these values are configurable for cyapa:

     hint.cyapa.%d.at    target iicbus(4).

     hint.cyapa.%d.addr  cyapa i2c address on the iicbus(4).

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 console 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>.

BUGS

     The cyapa driver detects the device from the I2C address.  This might have unforeseen
     consequences if the initialization sequence is sent to an unknown device at that address.
