Hey all, just got a nice Logitech wireless keyboard/laser mouse combo (MX 3200 and MX600 respectively). With Ubuntu 7.10, it was just "plug and play" -- is worth pointing out, though, that in the past, to get Sun's Virtual Box playing nicely with USB devices, I tweaked /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh (uncommenting four lines to add USB support) and added a line to /etc/fstab. So not sure if it would work as perfectly with a "vanilla" Gutsy install.
On to my question ... keyboard and mouse are nice, but none of their custom buttons work (no zoom, launching music player, controlling volume, etc.), which is sensible, Ubuntu is configured for a generic setup. I found this company: http://www.hidpoint.com/home.html Their welcome page says "HIDPoint can be considered as a Linux version of Logitech’s or Microsoft’s Keyboard and Mouse configuration software. It runs on many Linux distributions such as RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu, Mandriva and Fedora. HIDPoint has been designed to give users using USB Mice and Keyboards, the same experience they get when using these devices on Microsoft Windows." One library and a device driver are covered under GPL; everything else is proprietary. Has anyone else used their software? Opinions, comments, feedback?
