[PATCH 1/1]: input: add support for VirtualBox touchscreen emulationto the Lifebook driver

From: Michael Thayer
Date: Tue Feb 23 2010 - 06:21:53 EST


This patch adds support for VirtualBox touchscreen emulation to the Lifebook
input driver.

The device will be present as an extension to the PS/2 mouse emulation in the
next major release of VirtualBox. We chose to emulate the Lifebook touchscreen
mainly in order to simplify in-kernel support, as the Lifebook driver is active
by default in most kernel configurations. We had to extend the protocol
slightly as we wish to provide five mouse buttons and a two-way scroll wheel to
virtual guest systems, and we tried to do this in the most non-intrusive way
possible with regard to the current driver, which is the reason for the slightly
unusual handling of mouse buttons three to five.

Most changes in the driver are conditional on the VirtualBox DMI string being
found. A notable exception is the removal of the keybit fields for the left,
right and middle buttons for the first device. The current X.Org evdev driver
was seeing these and treating the device as a touchpad instead of a touchscreen.
I also tested this with a vanilla Ubuntu Lucid live CD while emulating the
original device and presenting a suitable DMI string.
