This seems to work as a module:

copy existing hid code

regarding loggitech_applet, i'm experiencing some weird things. if my PC have to make a hard reboot (didn't confirm yet with a normal reboot) when my box is up again, the mouse buttons work but the Infra-Red light of the mouse is off so i have no movement for a while. after several hours the light turn on again. i have a logitech mx500. anyone had the same problem?

i m using the 800 dpi applet but i don't like the 500hz patch. The mouse feeling is strange with it, maybe just because i'm not used to it (tested with q3 cpma)

i switch kernels a lot. i even patch some myself.

finally - it took me a while to find out it was this one - i noticed
that this patch causes the selecing using the mouse in terminals
to become erratic - no longer smooth.

so i backed it out.

i did not see any improvement with it as it was, probably be-
cause i am using the 800dpi applet already.

i've been using the logitech_applet only for several weeks now, absolutely no problems. haven't tried the 500Hz patch, doesn't interest me.

Yea the 800 dpi thing is real nice, what would I need 500 Hz for on a mouse anyway ? Quake3 runs only at 125 fps anyway

Hallo,

does the logitech_applet work for the Cordless MousMan Optical M-RM63 ?

Don't think the mouseman mice do 800dpi

this patch doesnt seem to be workign in 2.6.6. i just patched the kernel, and everything was fine. but when i check the stats on the mouse, it shows the same output as normal.

actually, this is working. Even though the info says 2ms i can tell its more that that. I played quake3 a few mins ago and immediatly noticed the precision increase. hot dayum! I was railing everyone with ease, almost doubled my normal frag/damgetime. big ups to the guy that found that patch and for the developer of the *nix version. I'm going to go play some more Q3, ohhh jeahhh!

Kernel = 2.6.6

The logitech_applet is fantastic. The cruise control thing is something I've been wanting to get working for some time (I have an MX-500). One thing that bothers me though, the cruise control button above the mouse wheel also seems to double as the third mouse button as well, which means it pastes stuff when all I want to do is scroll. Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a fix?
