DESCRIPTION
       palmax is an Xorg input driver for the Palmax PD1000/PD1100

       The  palmax driver functions as a pointer input device, and is normally
       used as the X server's core pointer. It supports positioning and	 mouse
       buttons	using  the  touchscreen	 display and lid buttons on the Palmax
       machines.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
       Palmax PD1000, Palmax PD1100. In theory also any other system  using  a
       TR88L803 wired to a serial port.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS
       Please refer to xorg.conf(5x) for general configuration details and for
       options that can be used with all input	drivers.   This	 section  only
       covers configuration details specific to this driver.

       The following driver options are supported

       Option "MinX" "integer"
	      Set the left hand X value from the touchscreen, for calibration.

       Option "MaxX" "integer"
	      Set  the	right  hand X value from the touchscreen, for calibra‐
	      tion.

       Option "MinY" "integer"
	      Set the top Y value from the touchscreen, for calibration.

       Option "MaxY" "integer"
	      Set the bottom Y value from the touchscreen, for calibration.

       Option "Screen" "integer"
	      The screen to attach to the touchscreen when running with multi‐
	      ple screens.  The default is screen 0.

       Option "Device" "string"
	      The  serial  port that is attached to the touchscreen interface.
	      On the Palmax PD1000 and PD1100 this is ttyS0.

       Option "DeviceName" "string"
	      Set the X11 device name for the touchscreen.  This  defaults  to
	      TOUCHSCREEN.

       Option "PortraitMode" "string"
	      Set  the display orientation. The default is "landscape" but you
	      can rotate the screen clockwise  ("portrait")  or	 anticlockwise
	      ("portraitCCW").

       Option "SwapXY" "boolean"
	      Swap the X and Y values on the display. The default is false.

       Option "TapButton" "boolean"
	      Set  the	touchscreen  tap to act as mouse button 1. This allows
	      single handed operation except when using the menu buttons.  The
	      default is false.

BUGS
       The  driver has been tested on the Palmax systems, the defaults reflect
       the Palmax hardware and should work out of the box. No testing has been
       done on other systems using the same digitizer.

       Support for a double-tap menu button option would be nice.

       The smoothing algorithm would benefit from real mathematics.

       Xorg needs a nice calibration tool.
