Here's what I think is the problem: current versions of the Linux kernel break the stick out as a separate "PS/2 Generic Mouse", instead of having it be part of the touchpad device. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2003-27/0026.html
It seems the Synaptics Xorg driver still has accommodations for a guest mouse within it: there's a GuestMouseOff option (that now does nothing), and synclient -m shows the following columns: time x y z f w l r u d m multi gl gm gr gdx gdy 0.000 1 5855 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 0 0 the gl, gm, gr, gdx, and gdy options are supposed to be for the guest mouse motion... but they don't work. Ideally, I'd be able to configure middle-mouse scroll emulation only when the middle button on the guest is used... but as it is, the stick's buttons are logically attached to the touchpad, and not the "PS/2 Generic Mouse"... so I can't use scroll emulation, and I can't use press-to-select. Note that in Windows, the Device Manager shows only the Touchpad device; the stick is part of that device. -- Cannot configure Synaptics TouchStyk settings (e.g. sensitivity, tapping, press/select) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268506 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
