Hello,
We're running VDI 3.1 (soon to be 3.2), and can't seem to figure out
the best/only way to set mouse acceleration. It looks like I may need to
be doing it for xset, but is there a way to set it per terminal or per
token? I searched the wiki, but didn't find more than a hint about it.
Thanks!
There is no builtin facility for controlling mouse acceleration with VDI.
I don't know, if the RDP server (are you using MS RDP or VirtualBox
VRDP?) allows tuning this within your Windows desktop (template) using
the Windows Control Panel. If it does, you can use all the usual
mechanisms (personal assigned desktop, special pool) to provide special
settings for individual users or groups of users.
Otherwise or if you need the mouse acceleration settings to be in effect
even for the VDI login and desktop selector, you'll need to use xset.
The best place to do such tuning is to place a (Korn) shell script
particle (this will be source, not executed) into directory
/etc/dt/config/Xsession.d (create the directory, if it doesn't exist).
In this script you can use the SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN environment variable to
distinguish a console session (which does not have this set) from a Sun
Ray session (which does have it). This variable contains the session
token, which you can use to look up any per-token settings you may have.
There is obviously no predefined place to store such settings, but if
you want it to be per token, you can use the SRSS token registration
facility to store such data into the 'other info' field. Your script can
use the utuser(1M) tool to retrieve the setting for the current token.
Similarly you could use the desktop registration facility and the
utdesktop(1M) utility to store per-terminal settings.
To create your own per-user settings is at least one order of magnitude
harder, as there is no built-in 'hook' to make such settings *after* vda
login, nor a database for per-user settings that is as readily available
as the Sun Ray data store.
Note: some X server settings have been reported to be lost when the X
server executes a keyboard mapping change. Such a change may happen on
the first key press in a session, if you are using international
(non-US) keyboards. If you see your settings being lost due to this
phenomenon (I don't know if mouse acceleration is affected) then there
may be ways to work around this, but that depends on specifics of your
deployment.
