Improving Mouse Drivers for Linux Guest

[Linux Kid]

Hello

I want to write a mouse driver with better mouse wheel behavior for mouse integration.

Currently it simulates a touch screen, which is somewhat laggy, slow on focus change and accelerates some scroll events so that it keeps scrolling and skips large distances.

Without mouse integration these problems are gone, so I think I can reuse some parts of the code.

I know how to write drivers, but I am unfamiliar with the VirtualBox project. Any Idea where to start?

Sounds like an interesting project!

Did you test the other mouse modes available with
VBoxManage modifyvm <vmname> --mouse ps2|usb|usbtablet|usbmultitouch

Yes! It was the first thing I've tested. At this time I thought it was a graphics problem and tried all combinations of settings.

Sounds like an interesting project!

Unfortunately it will be a very quick & dirty solution.

I will have a look at the documentation and get back as soon as I have any questions.
