Vertical scroll speed too fast (xrdpMouse)

[fabwu]

I'm using xrdp with Hyper-V to run Ubuntu 18.04 in a VM and the vertical scroll speed of the mouse is too fast.

I couldn't find any options in the xrdpMouse driver so I wanted to asked you if it is possible to adjust the scroll sensitivity?

Same issue, but on Linux Mint xfce 19.3 (layered on Ununtu 18.04 anyway). Quite frustrating, as the VM is otherwise almost fully usable for everyday work, but this is sadly very close to a showstopper. Current workaround is just ignore touchpad and plug in a USB mouse but would be much nicer if touchpad could be properly configured.

FWIW: I did find this discussion of installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-18.04 (also mentioned in the Mint 19.3 release notes); but that driver doesn't seem to load under xrdp - I assume because in that case, the VM lacks direct hardware access to recognise/identify the touchpad). So we need something that "native" to xrdp?

Same issue, on Kubuntu 18.04 connecting from MacOS.

I am also having this issue, macbook pro, tigervnc viewer+server works fine, but xrdp + xorgxrdp and xrdp+Xvnc scroll too fast, almost unusable mouse scrolling. Anyone have any work around?

[bmcmullin]

Only workaround for the moment seems to be to use an external mouse in place of the trackpad...

[dblaber]

@bmcmullin Do you also have a mac trackpad?

I am thinking this is an xrdp issue, not an xorgxrdp issue, as Xvnc +xrdp also has same issue. Doesn't Xvnc use its own virtual devices?

[bmcmullin]

"Do I have a mac trackpad?" - No: currently working on PC laptop hardware only - so can't personally vouch for this as a workaround on Mac or anything else. Would be useful to have a report on that of course.

Same using macOS trackpad. Scrolling is too fast to the point of being unusable

[xpusostomos]

You think it's bad with a trackpad, with a trackpoint it's an absolute disaaster. Is nobody able to fix this?

[dblaber]

I think someone has to identify why trackpad is being a problem before it can be fixed. I have yet to try with a regular mouse, but I have a feeling it as something to do with wheel acceleration being passed through, if there was a way to disable that, wonder if it woudl work. anyone else have any ideas?

This does need addressing - finding a way to adjust the scroll speed of an xrdpmouse is important.

same issue with linux mint , any one got any solution yet?

Same issue with xfce4, Ubuntu 20.04, RDP. Tweaking mouse properties does not help.

I confirmed it is actually an issue. It needs to be addressed.
