MUTOUCH(4)

📦 version 1.3.0, in debian bookworm

👑 MUTOUCH(4) 👑 — the Kernel Interfaces Manual, but make it a vibe

okay so bestie, welcome to MUTOUCH(4), from the Kernel Interfaces Manual section. this is the whole entire page about the Microtouch input driver and honestly? she's a little mysterious. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

mutouch — the Microtouch input driver, periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the shape of it, copy it exactly or the X server WILL side-eye you:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "idevname"
  Driver "mutouch"
  Option "Device"   "devpath"
  ...
EndSection

like. that's the whole teaser. the ... is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so mutouch is an Xorg input driver for Microtouch devices... and that's genuinely as much as the page is willing to say right now, bestie.

the mutouch driver does its thing as a pointer input device, and yes, she may be used as the X server's core pointer. main character energy fr fr.

ok and this is the part where i have to be real with you: the page literally says THIS MAN PAGE NEEDS TO BE FILLED IN. like, that's it. that's the whole note. not me reading a manpage that's still a work in progress 😭 iconic of them honestly.

🌸 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 🌸

the page says, and i quote: What is supported...

that's the entire section. the ellipsis is carrying the entire team. i'm obsessed 💀

🧚 CONFIGURATION DETAILS 🧚

first things first — please go look at xorg.conf(5) for all the general configuration details and for the options that work with every input driver. this section is only about the stuff that's specific to this driver, iykyk.

and then the content of this section is... Config details...

yeah. that's what it says. she's keeping it lowkey. 🫶

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

go read these next, no cap:

💖 AUTHORS 💖

the page says: Authors include... and then gives us exactly one name, so here she is, the icon:

  • Patrick Lecoanet 👑

okay and finally, the cute lil sign-off at the bottom of the page: this whole thing is from X Version 11, the package is xf86-input-mutouch 1.3.0, and it's living in the MUTOUCH(4) manual slot. slay, stay hydrated, and go fill in that man page bestie 💜✨
