Hi, I have installed VirtualBox 1.40 on a laptop with Windows XP, and Ubuntu
7.04 as a guest. I have installed the Guest Additions on Ubuntu.
I am satisfied with this solution (I tried vmware before) but I have a
problem with the touchpad scrolling (which doesn't work).
This is a cut of my xorg.conf file:
[CUT......]
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "vboxmouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
EndSection
[CUT.......]
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
[CUT.......]
I have also installed the gsynaptics package:
http://gsynaptics.sourceforge.jp/
but when I try to start it emits the following error:
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use
GSynaptics
When I try to scroll with the touchpad the mouse pointer changes and becomes
very similar (identical?) to that of windows... this makes me think that
virtualbox simply doesn't catch those events. I guess this is a problem for
anyone using virtualbox on laptop. So I have a question: perhaps would it be
possible to add a "vboxsynaptics" driver to the Guest Additions with support
of scrolling events?
Thank you,
Luca
