G15 Install on Kubuntu 8.10 / KDE 4

Thu, 02/19/2009 - 12:27 — Lummoxx

I've written a how-to for installing the G15 Tools in Kubuntu 8.10 and KDE 4 on the Kubuntu Wiki.

My experience with this has been somewhat frustrating, with the massive amount of outdated information on the Ubuntu forums, and the lack of a concise installation guide (at least, none that I could find).

Corrections and clarification, especially in regards to how g15macro works would be greatly appreciated, as I'm still working on this, as time permits.

Thanks.

g15macro permissions permutations untested.

^ Unsure for me too, as i run it under my own user.

g15macro has lost the macro settings I assigned on reboot. Need to discover how to save these settings.

It's in the workings at the moment... If you check the forums above you can find a release by me titled 1.0.3b which will handle this gracefully.
Or you could get it from the SVN, which has some more fixes built into it (1.0.3b has some bugs).
But there's no current "official" release which handles this.

Also,

Section "InputDevice"<br />
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"<br />
        Driver          "kbd"<br />
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"<br />
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"<br />
        Option          "XkbModel"      "logitech_g15"<br />
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"<br />
EndSection

I think you should change this to tell people WHAT they need to change, and not just have them copy stuff in. Not everyone uses a G15 with an US layout ;)
