[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-input: send rel-wheel events for wheel buttons
Posted by Marc-André Lureau 6 years, 7 months ago
qemu uses wheel-up/down button events for mouse wheel input, however
linux applications typically want REL_WHEEL events.

This fixes wheel with linux guests. Tested with X11/wayland, and
windows virtio-input driver.

I realize now that value is actually a signed integer in 2's complement
format. Unfortunate that it's not documented.

Works only when REL_WHEEL is between 8 and 15.
Add BUILD_BUG_ON?

Is it problematic e.g. if you migrate from a host with REL_WHEEL
to one without? Should we maintain a version without REL_WHEEL
for old machine types?

Not needed IMO, REL_WHEEL value is kernel/userspace abi and will never
change.

Yes, we need a compat property.

Possibly it is easier to fix on the guest side, assuming it is actually
needed (see other reply).

cheers,

--verbose please.

Both should work just fine.

cheers,

I haven't done extensive review of all input code on linux, but from what I remember the event got dropped here:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-evdev/tree/src/evdev.c#n2720

It seems BTN_GEAR isn't clearly defined either.

Perhaps libinput does a better job at mapping the event, but we should consider older guests. Spice agent is using rel-wheel events, and we never had issues with it.

thanks
