Subject: [vbox-users] Feature request: support for touchpad scrolling




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
