having troubles using logitech-applet with mx510

Hey all,

I'm having trouble getting logitech-applet to work. I did:
emerge logitech-applet

and it successfully emerged. I am then trying "logitech_applet --get-res" and it is giving me no output, i don't know if it can't find my mouse?

My mouse is plugged in as PS/2, not USB. Does it need to be USB?

also, in xorg.conf, should the protocol be evdev, ExplorerPS/2, or ImPS/2

Here is some more info:
root@monster hedpe # lmctl -s
005.001: 0000:0000 Not a Logitech device
004.001: 0000:0000 Not a Logitech device
003.001: 0000:0000 Not a Logitech device
002.001: 0000:0000 Not a Logitech device
001.001: 0000:0000 Not a Logitech device

Any feedback would be greatly appreciate!
George

My mx-310 works with logitech applet only on usb. And that's sad.

Any ps/2 users feedback?

I could be wrong, but I think it'd require a completely new protocol (including new drivers for Linux... which probably wouldn't get written) to support this kind of thing over the PS/2 port.

That'd be a huge step backwards from having a single standard driver for USB HID (USB Human Interface Devices) which cleanly allows custom, device-specific extensions.
