DESCRIPTION

The wmt driver provides support for the MS Windows 7/8/10 - compatible USB HID multi-touch devices found in many laptops.

To get multi-touch device working in X(7), install ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev.

FILES

wmt creates a pseudo-device file, /dev/input/eventX which presents the multi-touch device as an input event device.

BUGS

wmt works only with touchscreens now. Neither pens nor touchpads are supported.

wmt cannot act like sysmouse(4), as sysmouse(4) does not support absolute motion events.
