gyro. I think you have nailed it. Slacko and Racy kernels dont have this feature yet. It has been presented with 3.2.X kernels.
hid_logitech_dj is new feature for logitech usb devices and wireless:

With this driver, all the devices paired to a single Unifying
receiver are exposed to user processes in separated /input/dev
nodes.

Keyboards with different layouts can be treated differently,
Multiplayer games on single PC (like home theater PC) can
differentiate input coming from different kbds paired to the
same receiver.

Up to now, when Logitech Unifying receivers are connected to a
Linux based system, a single keyboard and a single mouse are
presented to the HID Layer, even if the Unifying receiver can
pair up to six compatible devices. The Unifying receiver by default
multiplexes all incoming events (from multiple keyboards/mice)
into these two.

I have configured it as module. I believe it should be compiled in, not as module. Now...I just wish I would have logitech usb devices...but I dont have....so.....I need to compile experimental kernel which has hid_logitech_dj compiled in to the kernel.

Code: Select all

CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH=y
CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH_DJ=m  -----> =y
CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF=y
CONFIG_LOGIRUMBLEPAD2_FF=y
CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF=y
CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF=y

I have in fact waited that someone could nail the problem since I dont have devices to test.
Thank you gyro very much !!!!

Thank you gyro very much !!!!

You are welcome.
I'm quite happy to do testing.

I can see that compiling it in, should fix the problem for this particular hardware.

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but, should it work as a module?
What about the other modules in the "hid" directory that start with "hid_", presumably for other hardware, would they need to be compiled in as well?

I wouldnt change the other modules preferences yet. So far...the usb logitech has been the only problematic one. The others are like Puppy kernels have been compiled.
If it aint broken....

New kernel has been compiled. The woof is now processing the packages....

I could be wrong. I got the notion that for to be able to use GetFlash
that one already have to have Flash installed. Then the script GetFlash
do work.

But I can be wrong. I failed at first on another iso to get flash too so
I made a manual install of an old version that I had laying around.
a flash...pet and then I hit the GetFlash and then it worked. Not sure. Sorry

Dpup exprimo 5.X.3.2.9.2 has been uploaded. This differs from previous 5.X.3.2.9 kernel 3.2.9 only with one thing. Logitech new module has been compiled in...not as module. I really dont know if it is behind the need to unplug and plug in again Logitech usb devices. But...let`s see....
It can be that Logitech devices would like that core usb modules are compiled as modules..not in as Puppy kernels nowadays are compiled. But that need is mandatory so that boot time usb stick...flash media....usb hdd will be recognized. There isnt circumvention on them. Uhci-ohci-ehci-xhci are compiled in.
Next thing will be to test adding /dev/hidraw support...there is now /dev/hiddev support only. It will be the target of next test....if this kernel...which is probable...wont fix the problem with Logitech usb devices.

5.X.3.2.9.2 installed as usual and does recognize logitech usb mouse! will keep testing next few days.

wifi connection made then flash asked to download latest version. wonder if this is the same as get flash which was reported not to work?

thanks

Jim3630. It is progress then. I remember your usb Logitech wasnt recognized before.
About getfash. I am not quite sure what you were asking. There are 3 different getfash scripts around. Original by 01micko, improved by Shinobar and yad gui version by stu90. I use stu90`s version.
Only problem with this version is that the ping and download is blocked from James C.
I think that Adobe classifies him too dangerous if he is armed with latest flash.

If you mean the automatic flash downloader. It comes with /usr/sbin/delayedrun through woof and it is designed by Barry Kauler.

Yes JamesC could not remember. ha ha adobe isn't completely dumb although, you would think after changing the program 6 times in 3 months they would eventually get it right.

Luckily the flash downloader in Slacko works with no problem..... just don't tell Adobe before it gets blocked too.....

Hi pemasu,

When do you rest? You get updates out almost before we can download the previous version.

This one is working great, everything tried works.

I had the same problem that was reported for the 3.2.9 kernel with Logitech mouse not being detected until the usb receiver was removed and reinstalled. That problem has been corrected with this recompiled kernel.

Cheers,

Jim

Had another old box running so 5.X.3.2.9 live pfix=ram. Since I was spared the usb mouse problems still running 5.X.3.2.9.
Everything working and correct on initial boot .... including a dreaded Logitech usb mouse.

very nice, pemasu.
however, a problem is when i press ` or i use right click on rox, then terminal here, the urxvt don't appear.
how to fix that?
thanks.

I had the same problem that was reported for the 3.2.9 kernel with Logitech mouse not being detected until the usb receiver was removed and reinstalled. That problem has been corrected with this recompiled kernel.

Great to hear, I had this problem, so I am downloading 5.X.3.2.9.2 now.

I had never any problem with my tree year old Logitech USB laser mouse.

The problem does not affect all Logitech USB mice.
When I used my old Logitech USB mouse with 5.X.3.2.9, there was no problem.
When I used my new "Unifying" mouse and keyboard with 5.X.3.2.9, the problem occurred.
This is consistent with the description of the module as posted by "pemasu" a little while back.

Just to confirm that 5.X.3.2.9.2 fixes the problem I was having with my Logitech "Unifying" USB wireless mouse and keyboard.

Thank you all...of the reports of Logitech devices. It looks that gyro`s finding about Logitech new module is correct. New unifying feature needs to be compiled in.
One device-kernel bug fixed.
Thank you gyro and all testers....I am pleased

Everything looking very good so far... All areas tested so far, 'no problems.' Looks like this might be a good kernel to stay with for awhile!

One minor thing... this keeps popping up when program loads. We had the same issue back with earlier testing in Slacko and 01micko just said to # before a certain code line, I forget where that was but anyway, was wondering 'WHY' this appears anyway? And, are others getting this notice on startup?

Hi Pemasu !
Installed dpup exprimo 3.2.9 (not 3.2.9.2 ) to harddisk .
Could not find my networks (but my wlan interfaces are found )
From live cd and from USB stick install this networks are found internet is working , but not from a harddisk install .
The same with 5X13.6 SMP .
(have a single-core processor ).
Dpup EXPRIMO 5X13 single-core works well with wireless on harddisk install .

Posted: **Tue 06 Mar 2012, 19:38**

sszindian. No I dont get it. I get cpu temp info through sensors input ok.
I suppose we need to ask 01micko about the solution. It sounds like quite simple editing is needed.
Have you run in console: # sensors-detect ...and does it fix the popping up ?
