NAME

       wminput - an event driver for the wiimote

SYNOPSIS

       wminput [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the wminput command.

       wminput is a program that provides an event driver for the wiimote, supporting all buttons (except Power)
       and pointer tracking, and featuring a tracking algorithm plugin architecture.

       Your kernel must be  configured  with  uinput  support  (INPUT_UINPUT,  or  Device  Drivers/Input  Device
       Support/Miscellaneous Drivers/User Level Driver Support under menuconfig).  Compile into the kernel or as
       a  module.   See  http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Compile_a_Kernel_Manually  for   information   on   kernel
       compilation.  By default, some (most? all?) udev configurations set up a uinput device file readable only
       by root.  Using wminput as a user other than root requires configuration udev to change  the  permissions
       on  uinput.   Place  the  following  line  in a file in /etc/udev/rules.d (see the documentation for your
       distro for the recommended file for local rules) to allow anyone on the system to use uinput:

       KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0666"

       A more secure method uses the following line to allow anyone in <group> to use wminput, and adds only the
       desired users to <group>:

       KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="<group>"

       A  uinput group can be created specifically for this purpose, or another existing group such as wheel can
       be used.

       Getting X to recognize non-standard key symbols, and mapping actions to those symbols, is not  automatic.
       An  excellent  tutorial at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys can help you set this up.  An
       overview of the process (see the HOWTO for more information):
       1.Edit ~/.CWiid/wminput.conf
       2.Use xev, wminput, and your wiimote to find out if the key symbols are already mapped, and find the  key
       codes if they are not.
       3.If  the  codes are not mapped to the appropriate symbols, edit ~/.Xmodmap, and use xmodmap to map them.
       (A copy of my ~/.Xmodmap is included in CWiid/doc)
       4.Use xbindkeys or a window manager-specific utility to map the key symbols to specific actions.

       wminput tracking plugins are, by default, installed  to  /usr/lib/CWiid/plugins.   Plugins  may  also  be
       placed in ~/.CWiid/plugins, and plugins placed here will take precedence.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
              Output version information and exit.

       -c, --config [file]
              Choose config file to use.

       -d, --daemon
              Implies -q, -r, and -w.

       -q, --quiet
              Reduce output to errors

       -r, --reconnect [wait]
              Automatically try reconnect after wiimote disconnect.

       -w, --wait
              Wait indefinitely for wiimote to connect.

       bdaddr Specify the wiimote bluetooth address. The bluetooth device address (bdaddr) of the wiimote can be
              specified on the command-line, or through the WIIMOTE_BDADDR environment  variable,  in  the  that
              order of precedence.  If neither is given, the first wiimote found by hci_inquiry will be used.
