    Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    Hi, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu.

    I have a Razer Deathadder 3500 mouse. Currently my mouse is too sensitive for me to comfortably navigate the interface.

    All sliders are at their lowest. I have found software which can supposedly help Here (link). I cannot install it, the issue may be related to this (link).

    Could you please suggest an alternative, or guide me step by step to install the tarball. I have never done that before and cannot seem to get it right, many of the guides are too vague for me to understand anyway.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    Start with:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libusb-dev python-qt4 cmake git-core
    Code:
    git clone git://git.bu3sch.de/razer.git
    cd razer
    cmake .            #do not forget the "space" and "dot"
    make
    sudo make install
    sudo ldconfig
    Does this work without compiling errors?
    Then we can go on with installing the razr start script and edit your xorg.conf...

    Re: Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    Thanks, it's working much better, but when I try "ldconfig", this shows:

    Code:
    sharky8u2@sharky8u2-desktop:~/razer$ ldconfig
    /sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied

    Re: Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    then run:

    Code:
    sudo ldconfig

    (sudo gives the permission)

    Re: Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    Ok, that worked. Don't know what happens after this. I'll see if the readme (came with tarball) can help.
    Thanks again.

    Readme has this:

    Code:
    INSTALLING
    ==========
    
    First you need to install the tool libraries and binaries. Do this by typing
    in the following commands:
    
      sudo -i	# become root
      make install
      ldconfig
    
    To automatically start the required system daemon "razerd" at system bootup time,
    you need to install the init-script. This software package includes a generic
    example script, that should work out-of-the-box on many Linux distributions.
    To install it, invoke the following commands:
    
      sudo -i	# become root
      cp ./razerd.initscript /etc/init.d/razerd
      ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc2.d/S99razerd
      ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc5.d/S99razerd
      ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc0.d/K01razerd
      ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc6.d/K01razerd
    So we did the first bit, but no directory is found when I try the "cp" line. Do I need to change the path somehow?

    Re: Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    Now you have to check if you have a xorg.conf file....

    Run:

    Code:
    gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    If a file opens,post it's content please...

    Re: Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    Back earlier...

    Referring to this: (README):

    X11-WINDOW (X.ORG) CONFIGURATION
    ================================

    The X-server must _not_ be configured to a specific mouse device like /dev/input/mouse0,
    because on configuration events razerd has to temporarly unregister the mouse from the
    system. This will confuse the X-server, if it's configured to a specific device.
    Configure it to the generic /dev/input/mice device instead. This will enable the X-server
    to pick up the mouse again after a configuration event from razerd.

    Example xorg.conf snippet:
    ...
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    EndSection
    ...

    Alternatively do not specify a "Device" at all. The X-server will autodetect
    the device then:
    ...
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    EndSection
    ...

    In any case, do _NOT_ use:
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouseX"



    Your xorg.conf is pretty small,which is ok if everything runs,you have installed the nvidia-driver with System/Admin/Hardwaredrivers.
    So there is no "input device" section,which rules the mouse,this is done by HAL instead of.
    So I suggest to ignore this in the moment and test if the razerstuff works..
    README:

    USING THE TOOLS
    ===============

    To use the tools, the "razerd" daemon needs to be started as root, first.
    Without the background daemon, nothing will work. The daemon is responsible
    for doing the lowlevel hardware accesses and for tracking the current state
    of the device.
    While the daemon is running, the user interfaces "razercfg" (commandline) and
    "qrazercfg" (graphical user interface) can be used.


    Means:
    Reboot the machine (if you have not already after compiling..).then:

    Code:
    sudo razerd
    to start daemon in the backround;think there will be no output (if daemon starts successfully)

    Then:

    Code:
    qrazercfg
    ...the GUI should appear.
    I ignored:

    To automatically start the required system daemon "razerd" at system bootup time,
    you need to install the init-script. This software package includes a generic
    example script, that should work out-of-the-box on many Linux distributions.
    To install it, invoke the following commands:

    sudo -i # become root
    cp ./razerd.initscript /etc/init.d/razerd
    ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc2.d/S99razerd
    ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc5.d/S99razerd
    ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc0.d/K01razerd
    ln -s /etc/init.d/razerd /etc/rc6.d/K01razerd


    UDEV notification:

    The make install step did already install the UDEV script automatically.
    It installed the script to
    /etc/udev/rules.d/01-razer-udev.rules
    This should work on most distributions.



    because of:
    The make install step did already install the UDEV script automatically.


    If things do not work,we will do this.

    Re: Razer Deathadder Sensitivity

    I really appreciate you helping me with this.

    I type in "sudo razerd" and get this:

    Code:
    sharky8u2@sharky8u2-desktop:~$ sudo razerd
    [sudo] password for sharky8u2: 
    Razer device service daemon
    qraSegmentation fault
    "qrazercfg" obviously doesn't work, but here is the error I get if I try (in case it helps):

    Code:
    sharky8u2@sharky8u2-desktop:~$ qrazercfg
    Failed to connect to razerd socket: [Errno 111] Connection refused
    Is razerd running?
