Mouse wheel in xrdp / TigerVNC.

Post by amjad175 » 2014/10/07 15:59:39

Hello,

I need some help in configuring the mouse wheel to work in CentOS 7 (Gnome) virtual machine running under Windows 8.1 Hyper-V. Xrdp and TigerVNC are working, I can login with RDP now, keyboard has been configured to UK in xrdp with some help from web tutorials but I can't figure out how to enable the mouse wheel.

The wheel button can be pressed down and locked for page scrolling in Firefox, normal scrolling doesn't work in any application.

Device information;

egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="Power Button"
H: Handlers=kbd event0
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event1
N: Name="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"
H: Handlers=mouse0 event2
N: Name="Microsoft Vmbus HID-compliant Mouse"
H: Handlers=mouse1 event3
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event4
N: Name="PC Speaker"
H: Handlers=kbd event5

===

xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ TigerVNC pointer id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ TigerVNC keyboard id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]


Thanks.

Sorry just realised mouse wheel is actually working just very slowly, it takes 2-3 full wheel turns to register a small movement. How do I increase the wheel speed (in xrdp / TigerVNC)?

Thanks.
