HIDPoint

Hi all,

I was wondering If I could request a HIDpoint package, it's a "driver" for multimedia keyboard and mouse.

Currently having a Logitech wave keyboard with all multimedia key not working.

HIDPpoint website => http://www.hidpoint.com/

Many thanks for reading,

Sweetth

Re: HIDPoint

I am not quite sure which operating system to select?

FYI: Mouse is MX 518 Optical and the Keyboard is a Wave Corded

Re: HIDPoint

Doesn't really matter, it's going be kludgy anyway - go for the latest ubuntu, I guess.

You should contact the maintainers and ask them to release a source tarball, and also to provide direct download links for use in automated build systems.

Re: HIDPoint

Is there any progress with this? I once tried to install it manually and the installation file complained about unsupported system. But this would be really nice to have feature, cos now i have to go to windows to set up mouse and keyboard properly
