[Qemu-devel] possible windows drivers for touchpad

[Qemu-devel] possible windows drivers for touchpad

[Jim C. Brown]

I found this webpage, which claims to have links to drivers for
synaptics touchpads for window xp, nt4, 2k, 98se, and me.
It says its version 6.0 however, and I'm coding up for version 4, so
they may not work.

I will test out 98se and 2k drivers as soon as I have the emulation completed,
and try to look for older drivers as well in case these don't work or turn out
to be duds.

The official synaptics drivers are at:

ftp://ftp.synaptics.com/pub/drivers/

Silly Question(tm): When I use my touchpad on my laptop, the cursor
positioning is not absolute, i.e. if I touch it in the middle, the mouse
cursor stays where it is, and if I drag my finger to the upper left
corner, the mouse cursor does not necessarily go to the upper left corner
of my screen. Am I missing something? What I was hoping for is a solution
for VNC, so that the guest cursor is exactly where the host cursor is. I
am not entirely convinced that the virtual synaptics touchpad will solve
this problem.

Ciao,

IIRC There's a registry switch that allows using the absolute 
positioning by the driver.

I'm going to write an open-source drivers for Synaptics Touchpad for 
W2K+. I'll begin working on them as soon as the QEMU emulation will be 
in place.
