Scroll Wheel in XBMC
Does anyone know why the scroll wheel doesn't work on the RPi in XBMC? I believe it works in Raspbian but not in Raspbmc, Openelec or Xbian.

It has the correct mouse.xml and confluence has support for it - as it works in Ubuntu - so it has something to do with either the kernel or the mappings.

I've mucked about with the mappings but without success.

Could it be that all mice are classed as PS2 or something.

Just curious but there a lot of people who would like this functionality.

...... any thoughts?

Re: Scroll Wheel in XBMC

RE: Scroll Wheel in XBMC
Naturally - the support would need to be programmed into XBMC. Under other linux platforms (not RPI) it's working because all the work is done by X.

That's why I asked to be directed to the package / source what IriDium is pointing at (as working under raspbian). But that is the same story as the Raspbmc going CrystalBUNTU etc. It is still the one and only issue. Currently no official accel Xorg for RPI, thus XBMC running standalone thus what XBMC was relying on Xorg functions these will not work under RPI until someone programs it into XBMC sources.

RE: Scroll Wheel in XBMC
So if I read this correctly. XBMC relies on X (whatever version) to interpret the mouse wheel commands and to act upon them. as RPi doesn't use X, then this information is sent into the big black ether. So until XBMC is programmed to handle mouse wheel commands it will never work?

So how do all the other commands still work? Click, left right and movement? Are they programmed into XBMC? If so, why where mouse wheels not programmed into XBMC? (They obviously were as the commands can be mapped)

I'm only curious, don't spend any time on it - but I'm interested.

No, the basics are part of event kernel module (the /dev/input/eventX) char devices created upon start / connect.
