# gpm-microtouch-setup(8)

Calibration program for Microtouch screens

## NAME

gpm-microtouch-setup - Calibration program for Microtouch screens

## SYNOPSIS

**gpm-microtouch-setup**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **gpm-microtouch-setup** command.

This program calibrates Microtouch screens for use with [**gpm**(8)](/gpm/8.md).

The [**gpm**(8)](/gpm/8.md) daemon must already be running in order to run the program to work flawlessly, as the program stops and restarts [**gpm**(8)](/gpm/8.md) internally (it depends on [**gpm**(8)](/gpm/8.md) for correct serial port initialization). **microtouch-setup** uses */dev/mouse* to access the serial port, so */dev/mouse* should point to a "ttyS" device.

## SEE ALSO

[**gpm**(8)](/gpm/8.md)

- **/usr/share/doc/gpm/README.microtouch**

  includes some information about the setup of a Microtouch screen with  [**gpm**(8)](/gpm/8.md).
