    Re: Logitech G300 erratic movement

    How did you create a startup program? I did the xinput set-prop 11 121 0 and itworked for me as well

    (I had to change mine to 11, beacuse 11 was the ID instead of 12)

    How do you make like a file on linux so that it will run that code every time I turn on my pc and load linux? If you do not understand what I mean, I am asking like how you make a batch file but for Linux.

    Re: Logitech G300 erratic movement

    Funny, I have the same issues with my Logitech M305. I built a fresh system, using Kubuntu 11.11. This Logitech M305 worked great until I did all my updates a few days ago. Then it started flaking out.

    I would have thrown the damn mouse, but thankfully I had this EXACT same issue with another M300(M300 died pups chewed it up). The M300 issues were on LTS 10.04 which was 2 versions ago for me. This problems still exits. Qrazi's work-a-round seems to "kind-of" help my issue... My M305 seems to be skipping far less. BUT still hangs up a bit in some instances. (a plug-in usb mouse HAS NO ISSUES)

    <Note: to anyone using Qrazi's instructions. Your device id may be different, you'll need to decipher the proper device ID.>

    This form of mouse skipping is simply unacceptable. Whoever is the maintainer of this package needs to just relinquishment his/her responsibilities. Honestly, I could do a better job. Seriously, this mouse has been around for well over two years now. It still doesn't function properly. This is a popular store shelf mouse, it should really be a plug and play device, PERIOD NO EXCEPTIONS! This sort of crap DOES NOT sell folks on moving OS's. <Not implying this for myself, but for others new to the Linux game> As a full-time Kubuntu user on all of my systems. I am appalled bugs like this exist with relativity low priorities concerning the repair of issues important to furthering the advancement of our OS. I have every right to direct my concerns regarding this issue. I need no asinine responses regarding my firm stance on this issue.

    I SAY GET IT FIXED NOW, or find new maintainers. NO EXCEPTIONS. There are plenty of folks out there like me(hardcore, and willing to help!). Let someone else take-over maintenance. PERIOD.

    Hi,

    the whole pupose of this mouse is it has 9 buttons configurable, does it mean that we cannot use those under linux?

    No workaround to keep the keyboard side?

    Hello All,

    as noted on askubuntu with the command

    Code:
    xinput set-mode {id} RELATIVE
    you have a full working mouse with all additional button working (tested with xev).
    The only problem you have to program your buttons on Windows. I havent tested the app on wine tho...

    This is the script I use as Startup App, which extract the id from the output of xinput list :

    Code:
    d@dubu:~$ cat bin/g300_xinput_mode.sh
    #!/bin/sh
    G300_XINPUT_ID=$(xinput list | egrep --color=never "G300.*keyboard" | sed -r 's/.*id=([0-9]+).*/\1/')
    xinput set-mode ${G300_XINPUT_ID} RELATIVE
    Hope it helps,
    Cheers

    I have just tried with Playonlinux and this version

    • Title: Logitech Gaming Software (Current)
    • Software Version: 8.20.74
    • Post Date: 12/19/2011
    • Platform: Windows XP

    Software get properly installed but of course mouse does not get detected.
    I have tried with Virtualbox/WinXP and it does not work.

    Is it the correct software to setup the buttons?
    I might have to go to dual_boot solution which I could prevent so far ... just to setup a damn mouse!

    To create a startup for this fix (In Ubuntu 11.10), press the POWER SYMBOL/SPROCKET in the upper-right hand corner of the desktop. This is the symbol that you normally use to shut down your system.

    Select the option "Startup Applications..."

    This will open a window labeled "Startup Applications Preferences".
    Press the "Add" button to make a new startup program.
    In the COMMAND field, insert the same code that you used before
    (xinput set-prop 11 121 0). Write in your own name for the command and save it. The next time you start your system, It should work great!
