It requires the XInput extension and its accompanying library. On Debian, this is available in the package libxi-dev. -It's been developed and tested on a ThinkPad Yoga (first generation), which -is what the input device names are configured for. +The default pen and touch devices are specified by the PENDEVICE and +TOUCHDEVICE symbolic constants #defined near the top of the code, +respectively. These are the devices on a ThinkPad Yoga (first generation), +on which this program was originally developed. Command line options are +available to override either or both. The options are -t for the touch +device and -p for the pen device. Check the output of xinput(1) for the names +of the devices on your system. Note that if the names of your devices contain +spaces, which is likely, you'll need to quote them in your shell. -A future revision will support naming devices via command line options, but -for the time being they are compiled in. If you are using a different tablet, -you may need to edit the values of PENDEVICE and/or TOUCHDEVICE in -penxortouch.c. Hopefully these names are self-explanatory. The command -xinput(1) will give you a list of the input devices available on your system. +A future revision will include an actual man page. As it is, the command is +very simple and provides a basic usage synopsis with the -h option. -A future revision will also include a genuine man page. As it is, there are -no run-time options. Simply run the program, penxortouch, and it will disable -the touchscreen device whenever the pen device comes in proximity to the -screen, and reenable the touchscreen when the pen leaves proximity. +A possibility for the future is some sort of intelligent default search +mechanism. -- cgit v1.2.1
