I've been trying to setup an Ubuntu 12.04 workstation on a Hyper-V virtual machine (MS Windows Server 2008 R2) and I need some help with the mouse driver.

The mouse responds fine in general: the cursor's moving, left/right click works OK and also when I press the wheel windows are changing and tabs are closing.

Everything EXCEPT scrolling: Then nothing happens, except that the cursor's appearing on the upper left corner of my VM desktop and when I move the mouse it appears back where it was.

Can someone guide me how to solve this? It gets really annoying... Thanks!

As it turns out, this is a bug with Windows Server 2008 r2 Hyper-V per RedHat:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872519

Their research shows the problem is fixed in server 2012.

  • In the SxS (step by step) it mentions the services should be built in (since 10.10). The SxS includes instructions on how to activate the IC's. I edited my answer to match.

  • Thanks for the edit. I've also tested that earlier so everything seems to be running fine (i.imgur.com/e3sIxyj.png) but still no scrolling..
