|
|
|
Some of the g15 libraries are installed in /usr/local/lib.
|
|
|
|
|
Some distros don't look there for libraries by default. There
|
|
|
|
|
are two ways around this -
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf (you'll need to be root)
|
|
|
|
|
and run ldconfig or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.rerun the library configure script with --prefix=/usr,then make
|
|
|
|
|
&& make install. This will install libg15 into the /usr/lib
|
|
|
|
|
directory.

Q2. G15daemon complains about not receiving a return value
|
|
|
|
|
and won't run!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
G15daemon really needs to be run by the user root. If you are
|
|
|
|
|
already running as root, and you still see this error, please let
|
|
|
|
|
us know.

Q3. My 'G' keys dont work in X11 !!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon adds new scancodes for all the G & M keys. X11 doesnt
|
|
|
|
|
understand some of these. In order to have the keys work in X,
|
|
|
|
|
you'll find an xmodmaprc script and a bash script in the contrib
|
|
|
|
|
directory. Copy the xmodmaprc file to $HOME/.Xmodmap and set the
|
|
|
|
|
bash script to run every time X11 starts. KDE has an AutoStart
|
|
|
|
|
folder you can put it in, Gnome probably has something similar.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
G15Daemon is designed to support whatever devices libg15 supports.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently,this means the G15 Keyboard(s), the G11 Keyboard and Z10
|
|
|
|
|
Speakers.

|
Q5. Are there any forums supporting the G15Tools?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. There are several. G15Tools now has it's own site, including
|
|
|
|
|
forums, at www.g15tools.com.There are also forums on the g15daemon
|
|
|
|
|
project site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/g15daemon, and a few
|
|
|
|
|
Linux distributions have threads setup for G15Tools users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q6. Why doesn't G15Daemon use DBUS or DCOP?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DBUS is a nice thing, however it's very new and is not available
|
|
|
|
|
everywhere. We try to keep dependancies to the minimum, and using
|
|
|
|
|
DBUS would mean we have to ensure that G15Daemon is loaded after
|
|
|
|
|
the DBUS server, which is something we can't guarantee. Down the
|
|
|
|
|
track we will look at providing a DBUS G15Daemon proxy.

Q7. Is G15Daemon able to run on my operating system?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
G15Daemon currently has support for Linux, MacOSX and Solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
Some Linux distributions include the G15Tools in their package
|
|
|
|
|
managers, however those may not be up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD support is possible, see README.FreeBSD for details on
|
|
|
|
|
how you can try it out. FreeBSD support is completely untested,
|
|
|
|
|
however it may work. Please let us know if it works for you.

Q8. Will G15Daemon ever run on Windows?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It might, but not by design. There is commercial support from
|
|
|
|
|
Logitech for that operating system.
