TS_UINPUT(1)                         tslib                        TS_UINPUT(1)

NAME
       ts_uinput - A daemon program creating a tslib-filtered and calibrated
       input event device


SYNOPSIS
       ts_uinput [OPTION]


DESCRIPTION
       ts_uinput provides an alternative for using tslib's API in order to get
       filtered and calibrated touch screen inputs.  Using Linux' uinput
       system, it creates an input event device to be used in your
       environment.  It uses ts_read_mt() and thus supports single and multi
       touch.


       -d, --daemonize

           Start ts_uinput as a daemon and return. The sysfs' input device
           name of the newly created device is printed to stdout before
           returning. If --verbose is chosen too, the /dev/input/eventX path
           to the device node is printed.


       -v, --verbose

           Print debug information to stdout and stderr. Only if --daemonize
           is not chosen. If used together with --daemonize, the path to the
           created input event device node /dev/input/eventX is printed before
           the program forks and returns.


       -n, --name

           Set the name of the new input event device. Default: ts_uinput.


       -i, --idev

           Explicitly choose the original input event device for tslib to use.
           Default: the environment variable TSLIB_TSDEVICE's value.


       -f, --fbdev

           Explicitly choose the framebuffer device to use. Default: the
           environment variable TSLIB_FBDEVICE's value.


       -s, --slots

           Explicitly set the possible concurrent touch contacts supported.
           May be only needed if the original input device doesn't report it.


       -b, --nofb

           Read the screen resolution values from the input device, not the
           framebuffer device.
