IF you aren't familiar with the unifying software you can download the Setpoint driver/control system off the Logitech page if you feel like playing to see if you can get it to work. and anyone else out there who is familiar with the system please chime in. I've not managed to get a VM created yet to try it though. If pairing it in Windows is all it needs for Ubuntu to recognize it then doing the same thing in a VM should work as well. Haven't explored how that might translate for the unifying software which is now built into the setpoint program. Or copy them from the sys file they are stored in in Windows. But I just read how you have to take windows drivers and split them into parts and use cerain parts to load them into Ubuntu even using Wine. It was a no go.would error out within seconds of starting. That is using Wine and installing the software that way.
So far I've come up with 2 thoughts one which I couldn't get to work at all. Thanks for your response! Never occured to me that moving the receiver might work.I thought it was somehow paired to the machine as well. Is there some way to get it to operate as more than just a basic USB mouse? **I also really miss the full functionality of this mouse. If they are paired then Ubuntu picks them up as basic USB keyboard/mouse. If one of the batteries die then I have to go into Windows to re-establish pairing. **Is there a way to get Ubuntu to recognize and allow me to configure this mouse? I do know that the receiver is being identified by name but as an unknown button in Device Manager. Given enough time this might not be such an issue. Although I'm starting to get much better with the touchpad (on the netbook). The keyboard isn't that big of a deal, but the mouse is. Previously (when windows only) I could switch back and forth by turning one off, or unplugging the receiver and then pairing up with the one I was getting ready to work with.Ĭurrently this requires me to boot into Windows and run the unitying program then reboot into Ubuntu. Both are currently dual boot Win7 & Natty. I have a receiver in my main PC and in my netbook. Both are wireless USB using Logitech's unifying receiver. I am currently using a Logitech Performance Mouse MX and a K250 Keyboard. I am very, very new to Ubuntu and after a couple of decades of Windows indoctrination I'm only slowly beginning to recall some of the very ancient BASIC and such I used way back when. I thought I was probably just missing some understanding of installing or accessing something. I posted a while back in Absolute Beginner Forum I'm not sure if I just didn't get things out clearly or if it wasn't the proper place.
