keyboard/mouse question


i have a saitek keyboard, (it has the command pad and the volume control buttons)

is there a driver or a way to have it so i can use those buttons, it would be nice to be able to use it like it was "desgined to do in windows"

and i have a logitech "cordless click-plus" mouse, is there a driver or way to be able to use all the buttons on the mouse.



does any1 know of a site where there are drivers for linux for different types of hardware (ex...webcam, or other stuff along those lines.)

thankx,

There is a program called Hotkeys which will allow you to use those extra keyboard buttons. For the mouse, its a matter of configuring Xorg, and then its up to the applications to use them. There is no site with drivers and stuff for webcams because they're mostly included with the kernel. What webcam do you have?

The driver for your webcam (not with the kernel) can be found here:
