Universal Photon input manager for keyboards and mice
devi-hid [general_opts]
protocol* [protocol_opts]*
filter* [filter_opts]*
Neutrino
Any supported platform that has io-hid running.
General options:
- -b
- Prevent the use of the
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Backspace
keychord to exit Photon (permitted by default).
- -d device
- Device (default: /dev/photon or the $PHOTON
environment variable).
- -g input_group
- Input group (default: 1).
- -l
- List the internal modules. Modules are listed in the following format
where class may be P (protocol) or F (filter):
module name | date last compiled | revision | class
- -P
- Disable Photon interface. The default is to start the Photon interface.
- -r
- Start resource manager interface (only use if not using Photon).
- -v[v]...
- Verbose output.
More v characters cause more verbosity.
The protocol modules and their options are:
- kbd — keyboard scan codes (connected to primary keyboard)
- -k rate[,delay]
- Keyboard rate (Hz),delay (ms). If you continually depress a key, after
delay milliseconds, it will input data rate
times a second. The default is 150Hz after 500ms.
- -u device
- Optional, USB device number.
- mouse — common mouse protocol (no options)
The filter modules and their options are:
- keyboard — translate scan codes to UNICODE
- -k kbd_file
- The file to use to map the keyboard to support international
languages or alternate layouts, such as Dvorak.
The default location for these files is
/usr/photon/keyboard; to create a keyboard mapping,
use
mkkbd.
- rel — filters and compresses relative coordinates of mouse events
- -a
- Wheel acceleration parameter (default 10);
the higher this value, the faster the mouse wheel acceleration.
- -G gain
- Motion multiplier (default 1).
- -l
- Swap right and left buttons.
- -T threshold
- Speed-doubling threshold in mickeys/second. If the mouse speed
exceeds this threshold, the cursor will move twice as far as it normally
does per mickey. (A mickey is the smallest amount of motion
the mouse can detect.) The default threshold is 100.
- -x
- Reverse X.
- -y
- Reverse Y.
This manager is a universal Photon input daemon for keyboards and mice.
It is a client of io-hid, the HID server.
Usually, inputtrap starts devi-hid during the Photon
startup procedure; for test and other purposes, you may also
start this manager in text mode as a resource manager.
|
The io-hid
resource manager must be running before devi-hid can start. |
This manager doesn't need information about the physical interfaces of
real devices: it relies on service from the io-hid
resource manager and supplementary input modules.
The devi-hid daemon takes data in the form of HID reports,
transforms the data into Photon events, and then emits
these events to Photon. It provides multi-language support for keyboard
input.
If you specify the verbosity option, activity messages are sent to
the console screen and to the system log. Data is normally sent to Photon,
alternatively, in resource manager mode (-r option), data can
be sent to devices (by default,
/dev/devi/keyboard0 and /dev/devi/mouse0).
Typical command line to start the keyboard and mouse manager:
devi-hid kbd mouse
- devi-hid
- Normally in /usr/photon/bin.
- libhiddi.so
- Used by devi-hid
If an error occurs in starting devi-hid, the keyboard or mouse
will not work in Photon and Photon won't be able to start. If you
specify at least one v option, activity details
will be reported on the console screen and will be
appended to the system log; for more detail, increase the
verbosity level.
