Hi freebsd fellas. I’m freebsd newb and I did a freebsd install under
virtual box. The detail is about synaptic horizontal scroll is making
me mad. I read some doctos but looks like those are deprecated. My
issue: freebsd 12+ XFCE+ virtual box tools under virtual box. Any
ideas? Thanks in advance

I'm not sure, but I think that you're asking about scrolling on a
laptop's trackpad?

You can look into the FreeBSD forms and Documentation and there should
be information on what kernel modules need to be loaded. I think you
probably want to checkout **moused** and the **sysctl** output.

kldstat and sysctl hw.psm should be helpful.

Synaptics touchpads are sometimes completely improperly configured
under X. Linux, BSD, everything that uses Xorg has a chance to work
really really horribly out of the box. If you want to fix the issue,
you must use the xf86-input-synaptics package, which then can be
configured in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf if I recall
correctly. You can specify a bunch of things in said file, so I'd
recommend that you look into it. It's possible that you'll find the
solution to your problem. (I haven't done this in a while -- but I
hope I got the details right)
