libevdev-tweak-device - modify an evdev kernel device
Contents
Description
The libevdev-tweak-device tool changes the properties of the evdev kernel device at /dev/input/eventX.
Currently this may be used to force an LED on or off, or to change the properties of an absolute axis
(e.g. its minimum/maximum range or resolution). Changes are permanent until the device is removed.
Name
libevdev-tweak-device - modify an evdev kernel device
Notes
The kernel does not notify processes about absinfo property changes. Any process that has previously
obtained the absinfo from the device will remain on the old information. This makes using this tool
potentially racy, use with caution.
LIBEVDEV-TWEAK-DEVICE(1)
Options
Changingabsoluteaxes--absaxis
Change the given named ABS_ kernel axis, e.g. ABS_X. For a full list, see linux/input.h. Each of
the options min,max,res,fuzz,flat may be given.
--minv Set the absinfo minimum to the value v
--maxv Set the absinfo maximum to the value v
--resv Set the absinfo resolution to the value v
--fuzzv
Set the absinfo fuzz to the value v
--flatv
Set the absinfo flat to the value v
Changingthex/yresolution--resolutionres[,yres]
Changes the resolution of the ABS_X, ABS_MT_POSITION_X, ABS_Y, and ABS_MT_POSITION_Y axis to the
given resolution. If only one resolution value is provided, both x and y axis are set to the same
resolution, otherwise the first resolution value is applied to the x axes and the second value to
the y axes.
TogglingLEDs--ledled
Change the given LED, e.g. LED_NUML. For a full list, see linux/input.h.
--on Change the LED state to on
--off Change the LED state to off
