I have a dell precision M5510 running vmware Fusion 12 (fully up to date). I installed RHEL 7.3 as a guest. The host os is windows 10, fully up to date.
The laptop has a synaptics touchpad. I cannot enable middle click for copy paste nor can i one or two finger scroll with the touch pad. I CAN, however, two finger scroll right/left.
I have read a bit in the community about this issue, but nothing seems to work.
Here is the output of xinput:
| Virtual core pointer | id=2 [master pointer (3)] | ||
| ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer | id=4 [slave pointer (2)] | ||
| ⎜ ↳ VMware VMware Virtual USB Mouse | id=7 [slave pointer (2)] | ||
| ⎜ ↳ VirtualPS/2 VMware VMMouse | id=9 [slave pointer (2)] | ||
| ⎜ ↳ VirtualPS/2 VMware VMMouse | id=10 [slave pointer (2)] | ||
| ⎣ Virtual core keyboard | id=3 [master keyboard (2)] | ||
| ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard | id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] | ||
| ↳ Power Button | id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] | ||
| ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard | id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] |
I see no Errors in the Xorg log and I have no xorg.conf.
Under windows, I was seeing two touchpad devices, one that had an error. I've removed that device, but that hasn't helped.
I think it might be an issue that there are two VMMouse devices listed by xinput.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated!
