Logitech G510

Just got this keyboard and was wondering if there is any support to make it function as it should. macros, LCD screen, LED back light colors, ETC.
I have the g15 keyboard selected in the keyboard setting (gnome) but nothing seemed to change.

THANKS

Re: Logitech G510

'pacman -S base-devel' should take care of that, if it doesn't make sure patch is installed.

Re: Logitech G510

First you have to get the source code and the patches you want to use, then you want to make a PKGBUILD or adapt an existing one, create a package and install the package with the patched lib15. Oh and working as root is a bad idea, create a user for yourself and build packages as your user to avoid any accidents.

Re: Logitech G510

not sure where to get the patches from.. and I have no idea how to get or patch lib15 or make a PKGBUILD file.... (CODE NOOOOOB)
also I've always had issues with sudoers file....  doing things as root for 10 seconds is just as risky as using sudo (a hack)...

thanks.

Re: Logitech G510

@Darkreaper: Something you might not have fully grasped yet, is that makepkg was created with using a user account in mind.  You will not get an error building a package because you are a simple user.  On the other end, being root while doing so (and specially while testing the make / make install by hand) might send unwanted files all over the places and possible screw up your system.

all guides one find on the Internet are not created equal..  I really suggest you do as R00KIE suggested and keep off "root".  And also, he never suggested you used "sudo" and do everything with it.  It is, as you suggested, as risky.  Using pacman, editing conf files and restarting services is what sudo/su/root is mainly used for on a daily basis.  Building packaged for Arch is not, really.

Oh and by the way, thanks for starting this thread smile  I will most probably be buying this very same keyboard soon and will have to dib into lib15/G15/G13 stuff to make it work as right now I could not find anything "stable".

In my search this (http://www.g15tools.com/node/715) was my first hit and promising development, although not stable yet with all options.
This forum (g15tools) is kinda awkward to read, last post seems to be from late December while last reply accepting the patch from beginning of January.

Re: Logitech G510

Well I never suggested doing any work as root either. I read that I had to run the daemon as root so I did as specified..... I thought he meant to not install stuff with AUR using --asroot option thats why I said what I said... I have a user account and use it but when installing stuff from AUR it trys to activate sudo which again I have issues with...

yes I have been through the g15tools site and thats where I am referring from... I hope you get this keyboard working because I can not...... Ive read through that link and cannot find anything they are talking about with the source code.... Its driving me crazy really..... any help would be appreciated.

Re: Logitech G510

I just received my Logitech G13 which has only recently been given libg15 support as referenced here:

http://www.g15tools.com/

I was looking at the PKGBUILD for libg15 on the AUR in an attempt to modify it to grab the latest version from svn where G13 and G510 are supported. I read the wiki page on PKGBUILD, but I didn't see any way to specify a svn repository as an option. Is this possible, or will I have to download and install everything from source via svn? I apologize for the newbish question, but I have never written a PKGBUILD before.

Re: Logitech G510

@darkreaper476
pacman -S ed

@zorkfandm
Use another PKGBUILD that gets things from svn as an example and modify it to suit your needs.

Re: Logitech G510

Thats funny I was just working on getting my G510 running.

I have libg15 compiled to it works but I would really like a way to have temperatures and load information. G15stats seems to have some of that but not core temp. I cannot figure out how to get the command right for g15composer.

Re: Logitech G510

Anyone got this working yet? I had it working under #!, but i did it over a year ago and forget how i did it. One thing i noticed though - when i had this working, the media keys sent alternate signals. Thus it would not work with XMonad anymore.
