HowTo Enable Scrolling With An Apple Magic Mouse

Overview

An Apple Magic mouse by default does not have its scrolling enable. One must add Kernel parameters to enable scrolling.

Solution

Add the following parameters to the "/etc/nst/grub2/nst_grub2_defaults" file: "hid_magicmouse.emulate_3button=0 hid_magicmouse.scroll_acceleration=1 hid_magicmouse.scroll_speed=40".

Section: NST Desktop (Graphical) Boot

#
# NST Desktop (Graphical) Boot
# --- ------- ----------- ----
NST_SERIAL[idx]="false";
NST_SERIAL_DEV[idx]="ttyS0";
NST_SERIAL_BAUD[idx]="115200";
NST_TITLE[idx]="Graphical Desktop";
NST_GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX[idx]="audit=0 systemd.unit=graphical.target hid_magicmouse.emulate_3button=0 hid_magicmouse.scroll_acceleration=1 hid_magicmouse.scroll_speed=40";
NST_GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT[idx]="true";
NST_GRAPHICAL_BOOT[idx]="true";
idx=idx+1;
  

Then rebuild the grub2 configuration file:

[root@nst42-mbp grub2]# nstboot -v --grub2;
