Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse

This is already reported in the upstream debian package as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442853 and in the upstream distribution as http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12506

This makes the vmmouse driver unusable, since, while you can move the cursor, you cannot click on anything.

do you have a debug server installed? I had a look at VMMouseDoPostEvent and it seems to call the API correctly. can you step through and determine whether the problem is in the driver or the server?

Aha, I see what it is. With the new xinput ABI, conversion_proc is never being called. See xserver commit 60ea7b51fe2b8a19a08b63db48504971a7a50ee6 and then there's also a thread from Debian with a hacky patch at http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.maint.x/browse_thread/thread/9c2ecc22fba0f03a

Until #10324 is fixed, this patch is a good solution.

Yeah, I've gone ahead and added it to the Fedora package for now, but getting the patch from 10324 or similar would definitely make things nicer (and allow for other nice things).

actually, just copy the driver I built on top of the old one and restart the server.

The driver from Timo works perfectly, at least as far as I can tell.

Certainly clicking gives the expected results. Thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse - 1:12.4.3-1ubuntu1

---------------
xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse (1:12.4.3-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * 100_fix_scale.patch: vmmouse doesn't get proper values for x&y axis
    scales with the current xserver, and this is a temporary fix until a
    proper one is in place (LP: #180968).
  * Change the maintainer address.

magnus has merged his patches into master. Could you please verify whether the problem persists?

Seems to work fine with current xserver Git in VMware Workstation.
