Hello all,
I would like to flip the orientation of how swipes are registered by the touchpad in "Mouse cursor mode" so that it registers like in "Gesture mode." I think the best way to explain what I'm talking about is by examples, so here it goes:
Let's say you're looking at your home screen. if you want to switch to your screen to the right:
1. Using the screen, you would place one finger on the screen and swipe left.
2. Using Gesture mode, you would place two fingers on the touchpad and swipe left.
3. Using Mouse cursor mode, you have to place two fingers on the touchpad and swipe right.
Or, if you want to scroll down on your browser:
1. Using the screen, you would place one finger on the screen and swipe up.
2. Using Gesture mode, you would place two fingers on the touchpad and swipe up.
3. Using Mouse cursor mode, you have to place two fingers on the touchpad and swipe down.
The fact that Mouse cursor mode registers swipes opposite to how the screen and Gesture mode register swipes kinda drives me nuts. Does anybody know how to change this?
(I prefer using Mouse cursor mode because (1) I don't like the round circle pointer in Gesture mode; and (2) the transitions in Gesture mode when using the touchpad is jerky compared to transitions in Mouse cursor mode.)
Thanks!

how are people using the quick menu with the track pad.two ouches brings up the quick menu option brings up the mnu but i cant access it as soon as you remove a touch it disappears
sent from my LEE Pad Transformer........I wish
Do you mean tap-and-hold context menu, or menu in top right corner, or what?
(though all of those work fine for me w/dock)
I mean the quick menu when you touch side of screen and get the half moon menu

i don't have the dock but I assume it is the same as without. You slide your finger over what ever function you want. Ex back button... it will highlight blue than release your finger and it will register.
Hope that helps
You move your cursor to the screen edge and do a hard click, the quick menu will appear just like you touch the screen edge.
Hope that helps
Its not exactly far to reach out and grab it though.. I actually think its kinda nice having a netbook form factor with a touch screen.. I'm gonna look weird at work when I use my normal laptop and try accessing stuff by touching its screen after this
I use the stock browser alot, with the thumb controls for the menu and what not. What irritates me the most is if I swipe my thumb to close to the edge of the top or bottom of the screen to open the options tab then select the settings menu, and it would open up half the menu outside the screen out of view. Is there no way to fix this so the menu drops down into view? Could this possibly be implemented? Because I don't always hold my xoom perfectly, and I know I can't be the only person this annoys.
I setup Daggerfall with mouse set to physical and have tried both relative and absolute and in game mouse look turned on, the problem is that i can only turn about 90 degree from left to right. When the android cursor hits the edge of the screen i can no longer turn. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated.
you are not alone...

I have the same issue with my nexus7 and I think that most other devices will have it too... Obviously, this problem isn't specific just for daggerfall - since the android mouse pointer won't leave the screen, you can't turn in any 3D game (or scroll in strategy games... etc.).
To my knowledge, there is no way to disable android mouse pointer and I have read that google forbids apps to disable it too. I use a simple workaround which is to set the mouse pointer speed in android settings to minimum - than the mouse in dosbox moves a lot faster that the android mouse.
It won't solve the problem completely, but it makes the games playable - you still need to be careful not to hit the edge of the screen with android mouse pointer, but you can turn about 720 degrees in one direction before that happends (than you just move the cursor back to the center of the screen and continue playing...)
Unfortunately, I think that the only way to get rid of the android mouse pointer completely is to flash a custom rom which doesn't have mouse support built in at all (but of course than you couldn't use the mouse anymore - except for gaming in dosbox...)
it is ok

You are correct in that the Android OS does not expose any API's to disable the Android mouse pointer. This becomes a problem in some games, because the Android mouse pointer will not go past the screen edges, thus disabling scrolling when you are using an external mouse (ie. bluetooth mouse or touchpad on the TF101).
There are four possible work-arounds built into dosbox turbo:
1. Screen Scaling Reduction + Absolute Mouse Mode (w/Hardware mouse):
In the settings menu, try reducing the screen scaling to less than 100% (ie. 90 or 95%). This will leave a small black border around the screen. When dosbox Turbo detects that the Android Mouse pointer has entered this black border, it should then emulate the mouse at the 'edge' of the screen. This special work-around will only work in "absolute" mouse mode, as there is no easy way to emulate such behavior in relative mode.
2. Analog GamePad mouse Emulation (w/Hardware Gamepad)
In DosBox Turbo 2.1.7+ analog sticks on gamepads are automapped to mouse and joystick control. So if you plug a Logitech, XBOX, or other supported gamepad into your TF101, the right stick will control the mouse movement, while the left stick will control the joystick.
3. Virtual On-Screen Mouse Emulation (w/Virtual Joystick)
If you go to the setting Virtual Joystick -> Use Joystick as Mouse, then when you enable to virtual onscreen joystick, it will then control the on screen mouse.
4. Touchscreen Mouse (w/Touchscreen)
The final work-around is to go back to the default touchscreen mouse. Using the above screen scale reduction trick + absolute mode will allow for scrolling in games that work with absolute mouse mode. Relative mouse mode is not affected by the scrolling issue.
I'm having an issue while using DOSBox:
I can't play shooters like BLOOD etc. using the right analog stick of the Samsung Gamepad for Android (GP-EI20) which is connected via Bluetooth to my Galaxy Note 3.
Everything else works but the right analog stick is just not being recognized (simply as if there wouldn't be one).
I'd like to use the right analog stick for mouse strafing but don't know how to solve / configure this.
Any suggestions?
hey guys whats the difference between the mouse cursor mode and the gesture mode in the asus customise settings? as far as i can see it only changes the cursor from a pointer to circle and gesture mode lets you pinch zoom, is there any more than that guys?
Yes try some gestures on the touchpad Like swiping in browser. You can do two finger gestures in gesture mode and the touchpad acts the same way as if you were doing it on the screen directly. i>e., two fingers up to scroll down. In mouse pointer mode it is reversed. Two fingers up to scroll up.
I am kind of annoyed with the mouse on the dock (two finger scroll and the zoom) i was wondering if there is a way to make the touchpad mouse similar to a regular laptop. scrolling on the right side and zoom on the bottom of the touch pad and get rid of the two finger scrolling.
any ideas?
