NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

ts.conf \u2212 Configuration file for tslib, controlling touch screens for embedded devices.<\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The idea of tslib is to have a core library that provides standard services, and a set of plugins to manage the conversion and filtering as needed.<\/p>\n

The plugins for a particular touchscreen are loaded automatically by the library under the control of a static configuration file, \/etc\/ts.conf. \/etc\/ts.conf gives the library basic configuration information. Each line specifies one module, and the parameters for that module. The modules are loaded in order, with the first one processing the touchscreen data first. For example:<\/p>\n

module_raw input
module variance delta=30
module dejitter delta=100
module linear<\/p>\n

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

Latest versions of the Xorg tslib input driver use hal<\/b> to configure the touchscreen within Xorg. Environment variables are only needed for the tslib commands.<\/p>\n

TSLIB_TSDEVICE<\/b><\/p>\n

If the default touchscreen device cannot be found, set the TSLIB_TSDEVICE<\/b> environment variable to the touchscreen device to use.<\/p>\n

Default when using ts_setup(): We try to open \/dev\/input\/ts, \/dev\/input\/touchscreen and \/dev\/touchscreen\/ucb1x00 and on Linux, we then scan \/dev\/input\/event0 \/dev\/input\/event1 \/dev\/input\/event2 \/dev\/input\/event3 \/dev\/input\/event4 \/dev\/input\/event5 \/dev\/input\/event6 \/dev\/input\/event7 \/dev\/input\/event8 \/dev\/input\/event9 for the first device with property INPUT_PROP_DIRECT.<\/p>\n

TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE<\/b><\/p>\n

Tslib default console device.<\/p>\n

Default: \/dev\/tty<\/p>\n

TSLIB_CALIBFILE<\/b><\/p>\n

Stores calibration data obtained using ts_calibrate.<\/p>\n

Default: \/etc\/pointercal<\/p>\n

TSLIB_CONFFILE<\/b><\/p>\n

Set a different location for the ts.conf configuration file itself.<\/p>\n

Default; \/etc\/ts.conf.<\/p>\n

TSLIB_FBDEVICE<\/b><\/p>\n

Framebuffer device to use for the touchscreen support.<\/p>\n

Default: \/dev\/fb0.<\/p>\n

TSLIB_PLUGINDIR<\/b><\/p>\n

Plugin directory for tslib.<\/p>\n

Default: \/usr\/lib\/$triplet\/ts0\/ where triplet is the MultiArch path, e.g. arm\u2212linux\u2212gnueabi.<\/p>\n

MODULE PARAMETERS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

dejitter<\/b><\/p>\n

Removes jitter on the X and Y co\u2212ordinates. This is achieved by applying a weighted smoothing filter. The latest samples have most weight; earlier samples have less weight. This allows one to achieve 1:1 input\u2212>output rate.<\/p>\n

\u2022 delta<\/b><\/p>\n

Squared distance between two samples ((X2\u2212X1)^2 + (Y2\u2212Y1)^2) that defines the quick motion threshold. If the pen moves quick, it is not feasible to smooth pen motion, besides quick motion is not precise anyway; so if quick motion is detected the module just discards the backlog and simply copies input to output.<\/p>\n

linear<\/b><\/p>\n

Linear scaling module, primarily used for conversion of touch screen co\u2212ordinates to screen co\u2212ordinates.<\/p>\n

\u2022 rot<\/b><\/p>\n

Rotation of touch coorinates. 0=no, 1=CW, 2=UD, 3=CCW. Default: the screen-rotation that was used with ts_calibrate (-r option).<\/p>\n

\u2022 xyswap<\/b><\/p>\n

Interchange the X and Y co\u2212ordinates \u2212\u2212 no longer used or needed if the new linear calibration utility ts_calibrate is used.<\/p>\n

\u2022 pressure_offset<\/b><\/p>\n

Offset applied to the pressure value. Default: 0.<\/p>\n

\u2022 pressure_mul<\/b><\/p>\n

Factor to multiply the pressure value with. Default: 1.<\/p>\n

\u2022 pressure_div<\/b><\/p>\n

Value to divide the pressure value by. Default: 1.<\/p>\n

iir<\/b><\/p>\n

Infinite impulse response filter. Similar to dejitter, this is a smoothing filter to remove low\u2212level noise. There is a trade-off between noise removal (smoothing) and responsiveness. The parameters N and D specify the level of smoothing in the form of a fraction (N\/D).<\/p>\n

\u2022 N<\/b><\/p>\n

numerator of the smoothing fraction. Default: 0.<\/p>\n

\u2022 D<\/b><\/p>\n

denominator of the smoothing fraction. Default: 1.<\/p>\n

pthres<\/b><\/p>\n

Pressure threshold filter. Given a release is always pressure 0 and a press is always >= 1, this discards samples below \/ above the specified pressure threshold.<\/p>\n

\u2022 pmin<\/b><\/p>\n

Minimum pressure value for a sample to be valid. Default: 1.<\/p>\n

\u2022 pmax<\/b><\/p>\n

Maximum pressure value for a sample to be valid. Default: INT_MAX.<\/p>\n

debounce<\/b><\/p>\n

Simple debounce mechanism that drops input events for the specified time after a touch gesture stopped.<\/p>\n

\u2022 drop_threshold<\/b><\/p>\n

drop events up to this number of milliseconds after the last release event. Default: 0.<\/p>\n

skip<\/b><\/p>\n

Skip nhead samples after press and ntail samples before release. This should help if for the device the first or last samples are unreliable.<\/p>\n

\u2022 nhead<\/b><\/p>\n

Number of events to drop after pressure. Default: 1.<\/p>\n

\u2022 ntail<\/b><\/p>\n

Number of events to drop before release. Default: 1.<\/p>\n

median<\/b><\/p>\n

Similar to what the variance filter does, the median filter suppresses spikes in the gesture.<\/p>\n

\u2022 depth<\/b><\/p>\n

Number of samples to apply the median filter to. Default: 3.<\/p>\n

invert<\/b><\/p>\n

Invert values in X and\/or Y direction around a given value.<\/p>\n

\u2022 x0<\/b><\/p>\n

X-axis (horizontal) value around which to invert. Default: 0.<\/p>\n

\u2022 y0<\/b><\/p>\n

Y-axis (horizontal) value around which to invert. Default: 0.<\/p>\n

lowpass<\/b><\/p>\n

simple exponential averaging lowpass filter<\/p>\n

\u2022 factor<\/b><\/p>\n

floating point values betwenn 0 and 1. Default: 0.4.<\/p>\n

\u2022 threshold<\/b><\/p>\n

x or y minimum distance between two samples to start applying the filter. Default: 2.<\/p>\n

evthres<\/b><\/p>\n

Number of samples needed from the device after considered a valid touch. This filter will drop a tapping when too little samples are between “down” and “up”.<\/p>\n

\u2022 N<\/b><\/p>\n

Minimum number of events needed between “down” and “up”. Default: 5.<\/p>\n

variance<\/b><\/p>\n

Tries to do it\u2019s best in order to filter out random noise coming from touchscreen ADCs. This is achieved by limiting the sample movement speed to some value (e.g. the pen is not supposed to move quicker than some threshold).<\/p>\n

This is a greedy filter, e.g. it gives less samples on output than receives on input. There is no multitouch<\/b> support for this filter.<\/p>\n

\u2022 delta<\/b><\/p>\n

Set the squared distance in touchscreen units between previous and current pen position (e.g. (X2\u2212X1)^2 + (Y2\u2212Y1)^2). This defines the criteria for determining whenever two samples are near or far to each other.<\/p>\n

If the distance between previous and current sample is far, the sample is marked as potential noise. This doesn\u2019t mean yet that it will be discarded; if the next reading will be close to it, this will be considered just a regular quick motion event, and it will sneak to the next layer. Also, if the sample after the potential noise is far from both previously discussed samples, this is also considered a quick motion event and the sample sneaks into the output stream.<\/p>\n

hardware support<\/b><\/p>\n

On Linux, use the module_raw input<\/b> if you can. The other raw access modules are device specific userspace drivers. If you need one of those, enable it explicitly when building tslib. The list of modules enabled by default might shrink in the future. module_raw input<\/b> supports multitouch (MT) too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
