Can I run G11 keyboard on linux

phoenix_wolf · 09-02-2008, 03:33 PM

I have a G11 keyboard and I would like to get it to run on Linux I found a website that has the way to do it for Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15. But it seems to only be for Ubuntu (well at least not PClinuxOS) there are servial problems when tiring to install first of the files libdaemon-dev and build-essential I can't seem to find in synaptic. I can do most of the other stuff it seems to install but any way I was wondering if anyone knew how I can fix it..

Thank you all..

The G15 drivers are not specific to any distribution, and the dependencies will not necessarily have the same name in another distro. Just try and build the drivers and see what happens; they are pretty simplistic so I doubt you will have any serious problems.

$ sudo modprobe uinput (I do not know if this is working for some reason It gives bad password when I type in the pass word however when I do "su" and then the same password it works but I get a error using (sudo mobprobe uinput) under root user so I tried to us my password and it just went to the prompt nothing a no error just prompt like shows bellow.
Password:
$ gksudo /etc/modules right here I typed in this and I always seem to get this error is it that I need to use some other command becouse I am using PClinuxOS?
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

(gksudo:1581): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

Are any of the G15 components available as binaries in your distribution? How did you get g15daemon installed?
