Thanks for the scenario info, very interesting. Unfortunately, we didn’t
intend the Hyper-V UEFI firmware to be a development platform so the UEFI
protocols that a mouse driver would need to use to communicate with the
underlying virtual machine bus (the VenHw part of the device path) are not
publically available and the mouse device protocol is only loosely documented
via the Linux device source code.
Thanks,
Kris.

I love Hyper-V because of its deep integration with the hardware, OS, and
especially powershell. I test my code in Hyper-V because I've found it to be
much faster, safer, and more convenient than testing on a real machine. Some of
my products have user interfaces and I would like to test my user interfaces in
Hyper-V as well.
This is my process:
1. write code
2. run script that
a. compiles binaries
b. turns off my UEFI VM
b. copies the binaries to my UEFI VM's VHDX
c. turns on my UEFI VM
3. play around and make sure my code does what I except
This works great for keyboard input, graphics output, and networking stuff. The
only thing I'm missing to fill all my needs is pointer input.
Can you give me a starting point on how to make a synthetic mouse driver for
Hyper-V, or is that something only Microsoft could do? The device path for the
keyboard Acpi(...)/VenHw(...) makes me think there is no I/O protocol exposed
that I can build on top of.

Hi,
As noticed, there is no mouse support in the Hyper-V UEFI implementation.
In generation 2 virtual machines, all the devices are synthetic and need their
own drivers.
What kind of scenarios are you thinking of for UEFI mouse support in Hyper-V?
Thanks,
Kris (Hyper-V UEFI developer)

Qemu has no pointer as well. Same problem.

Hyper-V is Microsoft's virtual machine technology. It doesn't have USB
pass-through support (the device path for text input is AcpiEx(...)/VenHw(...)

Microsoft hasn't made a custom driver for pointer input.

Hi,
I don't know what is Hyper-V but if you have no SimplePointerProtocol then you
have to install it by loading additional Dxe driver like
edk2/MdeModulePkg/Bus/Usb/UsbMouseDxe
Hope it helps,
Sergey

Does anyone know how to capture pointer input in Hyper-V? Is this feature not
possible yet? When I do a 'dh' from the shell, there are no simple or absolute
pointer protocols. I'm hoping the answer isn't 'Integration Services for UEFI'
which doesn't exist. Thanks for any insight.
