Re: [Spice-devel] spice-vdagent: how to enable additional mouse buttons?
Hi Frediano, Yes it's quite a bit incoherent, having said that, i just saw a picture of a mouse with like 30 buttons on it :-) Didn't have time yet to test your patches Kevin, will do so in evening hours, I will update you after. >From the bottom of my thumb, i thank you :-) Roger De : Frediano Ziglio À : Kevin Pouget Sujet : Re: [Spice-devel] spice-vdagent: how to enable additional mouse buttons?

Re: [Spice-devel] spice-vdagent: how to enable additional mouse buttons?
Good afternoon Kevin, That is some great news! Let me get to testing this on my side and give you feedback on it. It makes sense people want their other mouse buttons to work on a guest system, so your work on this will for sure be worth the time and will make many people happy I am sure. I will get back to you asap, thanks so much! Roger De : Kevin Pouget À : br...@netc.fr Sujet : Re: [Spice-devel] spice-vdagent: how to enable additional mouse buttons?

Hi Victor, Yes it was certainly a good read and i got some ideas from it, but the code has changed quite a lot since 2017 and the patches correspond to the current code only for about 10-15%.

Re: [Spice-devel] spice-vdagent: how to enable additional mouse buttons?
Uri, Would it be as simple as adding: ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_KEYBIT, BTN_BACK); ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_KEYBIT, BTN_FORWARD); and re-compiling / testing? I am not an experienced coder and have not had the time yet to get a good overview of the spice-vdagent code, so this might be a too simple approach. I guess all of these values might be tested: #define BTN_MISC 0x100 #define BTN_0 0x100 #define BTN_1 0x101 #define BTN_2 0x102 #define BTN_3 0x103 #define BTN_4 0x104 #define BTN_5 0x105 #define BTN_6 0x106 #define BTN_7 0x107 #define BTN_8 0x108 #define BTN_9 0x109 #define BTN_MOUSE 0x110 #define BTN_LEFT 0x110 #define BTN_RIGHT 0x111 #define BTN_MIDDLE 0x112 #define BTN_SIDE 0x113 #define BTN_EXTRA 0x114 #define BTN_FORWARD 0x115 #define BTN_BACK 0x116 #define BTN_TASK 0x117 Is there any way to test the btn value?

Re: [Spice-devel] spice-vdagent: how to enable additional mouse buttons?
Hi, Yes most likely. I find these lines of code: /* buttons */ ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_KEY); ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_KEYBIT, BTN_LEFT); ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_KEYBIT, BTN_MIDDLE); ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_KEYBIT, BTN_RIGHT); /* wheel */ ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_REL); ioctl(uinput->fd, UI_SET_RELBIT, REL_WHEEL); I will probably need to declare the additional mouse buttons of my mouse (Logitech G403), so I run xev to find some information: (BTN_LEFT, BTN_RIGHT, button 8, button 9) ButtonPress event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 361327, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 361426, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES ButtonPress event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 362448, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 362556, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES ButtonPress event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 366829, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 366949, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES ButtonPress event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 368093, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x0, button 9, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x301, root 0x3ad, subw 0x0, time 368250, (127,94), root:(128,144), state 0x0, button 9, same_screen YES Now the next question is obvious: how do I adjust the code to add support for button 8,9 ? I thought BTN_LEFT and BTN_RIGHT would be declared in uinput.h but they are global variables? or where are they declared? Any help with adding support for these buttons would be very appreciated and finally make me stop using virtualbox lol. Thanks!

Hi, Currently 5 mouse buttons are supported. I think some code is needed to be added in order to support more buttons.

[Spice-devel] spice-vdagent: how to enable additional mouse buttons?
I am using spice-vdagent on most of my qemu-kvm vm's, while this is very convenient, mouse button 8 and 9 are not working (those are the side buttons of the mouse, one is often used for BACK function of the browser, which my thumb is actually addicted to). How could i make these buttons work with spice-vdagent?
