NAME
xinput - utility to configure and test XInput devices
SYNOPSIS
xinput [version] [list [device_name]] [set-pointer device_name] [get-feedbacks device_name] [set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE] [set-ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom] [set-integer-feedback device_name index value] [set-button-map device_name map button 1 [map button 2 [...]]] [query-state device_name] [test [-proximity] device_name]
DESCRIPTION
| xinput version | |
| test if the XInput extension is available and return the version number of the program. | |
| xinput list [device_name] | |
| If no argument is given list all the input devices showing all their features. If an argument is given, show all the feature of device_name. Uses XListInputDevices(3). | |
| xinput get-feedbacks device_name | |
| Display the feedbacks of device_name. Uses XGetFeedbackControl(3). | |
| xinput set-pointer device_name | |
| Switch device_name in core pointer. Uses XChangePointerDevice(3). | |
| xinput set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE | |
| Change the mode of device_name. Uses XSetDeviceMode(3). | |
| xinput set-ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom | |
| Change the acceleration of device_name. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3). | |
| xinput set-integer-feedback device_name index value | |
| Change the value of an integer feedback of device_name. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3). | |
| xinput set-button-map device_name map button 1 [map button 2 [...]] | |
| Change the button mapping of device_name. Uses XSetDeviceButtonMapping(3). | |
| xinput query-state device_name | |
| Query the device state. Uses XQueryDeviceState(3). | |
| xinput list-props device_name [device_name...] | |
| Lists properties that can be set for the given device(s). | |
| xinput set-int-prop device_name property format value | |
| Sets an integer property for the device. Appropriate values for format are 8, 16, or 32, depending on the property. | |
| xinput set-float-prop device_name property value | |
| Sets a float property for the device. | |
| xinput watch-props device_name | |
| Prints to standard out when property changes occur. | |
| xinput delete-prop device_name property | |
| Delete the property from the device. | |
| xinput test [-proximity] device_name | |
| Register all extended events from device_name and enter an endless loop displaying events received. If the -proximity is given, ProximityIn and ProximityOut are registered. | |
property can be the property as a string or the Atom value.
