synclient \- commandline utility to query and modify Synaptics driver
options.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
This program lets you change your Synaptics TouchPad driver for
XOrg/XFree86 server parameters while X is running.
-For the -m and -h options, SHM must be enabled by setting the option SHMConfig
-"on" in your XOrg/XFree86 configuration.

-\fB\-m interval\fR
-monitor changes to the touchpad state.
-.
-Interval specifies how often (in ms) to poll the touchpad state.
-.
-Whenever a change in the touchpad state is detected, one line of
-output is generated that describes the current state of the touchpad.
-This option is only available in SHM mode.
-.
-The following data is included in the output.
-.RS
-.TP
-\fBtime\fR
-Time in seconds since the logging was started.
-.TP
-\fBx,y\fR
-The x/y coordinates of the finger on the touchpad.
-.
-The origin is in the upper left corner.
-.TP
-\fBz\fR
-The "pressure" value.
-.
-Pressing the finger harder on the touchpad typically produces a larger
-value.
-.
-Note that most touchpads don't measure the real pressure though.
-.
-Instead, capacitance is usually measured, which is correlated to the
-contact area between the finger and the touchpad.
-.
-Since more pressure usually means a larger contact area, the reported
-pressure value is at least indirectly related to the real pressure.
-.TP
-\fBf\fR
-The number of fingers currently touching the touchpad.
-.
-Note that only some touchpads can report more than one finger.
-.
-Generally, synaptics touchpads can, but ALPS touchpads can't.
-.TP
-\fBw\fR
-The w value is a measurement of the finger width.
-.
-This is only supported by some synaptics touchpads.
-.
-Touchpads that can't measure the finger width typically report a faked
-constant value when a finger is touching the touchpad.
-.TP
-\fBl,r,u,d,m,multi\fR
-The state of the left, right, up, down, middle and multi buttons.
-.
-Zero means not pressed, one means pressed.
-.
-Not all touchpads have all these buttons.
-.
-If a button doesn't exist, the value is always reported as 0.
