[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#702848: libvirt-bin: On KVM with tablet middle scroll button on mouse doesn't work. On host it does.

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.12-6
Severity: minor

Despite the fact it's irritating as hell I recognize that not have a scroll button in a virtual machine is only a minor bug.  Hope there is a fix or workaround though because it sucks.

Anyway,  I have a logitech trackman trackball mouse with three buttons, the middle one being a scroll wheel and button.  On the debian wheezy host part of this setup it works, however inside a debian wheezy guest (both host and guest 64-bit btw) (qemu-kvm hypervisor), the scroll wheel fails to scroll.

Any thoughts on how to get this to work (i.e. is there a way to force it, since it's not 'just working' the way it should)?

I am assuming of course that it isn't just my setup, since I don't think I've done anything that would make this particular aspect 'special'.
