Usage

Run inputactions-touchpad-visualizer.

Read access to the touchpad device is required. The tool can be run as root, or a udev rule may be created at /etc/udev/rules.d/71-touchpad.rules with the following contents:

ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD}=="1", TAG+="uaccess"

This will give all programs read and write access to all touchpads.
