Kinda. (AIUI) they used to have the same level of support (using the kernel 
HID thingie), but recently mixxx changed to using libdjconsole. This doesn't 
work with the Control MP3 though. To make it work, you need to use the old 
way of doing things, which is what djconsole_legacy gives you. And then, the 
kernel patch fixes the HID layer in the kernel to allow LEDs to work.

I think the Mk1 and Mk2 work fine as is, jogwheels and all.

If you want to make the control MP3 work, I can give you a binary of mixxx 
built for it, if your system is similar enough to mine for it to be a drop-in 
replacement. Then, if you apply the kernel patch or use the modules I made to 
make the LEDs work, you get pretty complete support (including cutesy little 
things I added like using the extra LEDs as VU meters and so on).

As it is, my kernel patch won't work with the Mk1 and Mk2, simply because I 
haven't tested it (don't have the hardware) and aren't looking for their USB 
IDs. It's not a big deal in that case though, as they do work with the 
default build anyway.
