I have ubuntu as host where everything (including the horizontal scroll) works without the logitech software.
However in the guest which is debian, the horizontal scroll doesn't work. Is there any way to make it work?
(back and forward buttons work)
How to use all button of the logitech mx master mouse in the guest?

Does it work on Debian itself? Booted on a physical computer?
Or another way is to try the same guest as your host. If it works, you'll know it's Debian that's not supporting the horizontal scrolling.

Oddly enough it started working yesterday shortly after I posted this. Just like that, i haven't changed anything. I found that I have to keep the mouse pointer a little bit over the active window for the horizontal scroll to work.
It should work on Debian as host, since it's very close to Ubuntu. However, I was thinking that virtualbox doesn't forward the extra buttons since in the config the only option for mouse is PS/2 mouse.

Maybe it's the specific Window Manager or your Application that does that.LostSoul wrote:I found that I have to keep the mouse pointer a little bit over the active window for the horizontal scroll to work.
Unless 1) you're using the forked VirtualBox from the Ubuntu repository and not from the official site, and 2) they have changed things, you normally have 3 options: PS/2 Mouse, USB Tablet and USB Multi-Touch Tablet.LostSoul wrote:in the config the only option for mouse is PS/2 mouse.
But since it works, apparently VirtualBox is passing through the appropriate mouse events.

Yes I have the tablet options as well but didn't mention them because didn't think they are relevant.socratis wrote:Unless 1) you're using the forked VirtualBox from the Ubuntu repository and not from the official site, and 2) they have changed things, you normally have 3 options: PS/2 Mouse, USB Tablet and USB Multi-Touch Tablet.LostSoul wrote:in the config the only option for mouse is PS/2 mouse.

Will test some more, thank you!
