Public bug reported: The vmmouse driver currently included in Intrepid is broken when used in conjunction with Server 1.5. This has been noted in bug 248521.
I have made an upstream update release of the driver that fixes this problem: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/driver/xf86-input- vmmouse-12.5.2.tar.bz2 However, it is insufficient to just fix the driver; we also need to handle detection of the vmmouse device so that HAL will set the x11_driver property correctly for the device. I would like to track the hotplug detection separately with this bug. In the medium term, I will be trying to push the detection mechanism into HAL proper, but in the short term, it is easy to leverage the existing 'vmmouse-detect' utility to enhance HAL. I will be attaching a new fdi file and HAL callout script to do this. I'm not sure which package these files should ultimately go into - possible the vmmouse package itself or maybe mdetect? ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- vmmouse doesn't work with input hotplug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
