Hello all, The patch files, once hosted at http://miskatonic.cs.nmsu.edu/g13/: - config-generic - linux-2.6-hid-usbhid-core.patch - linux-2.6-logitech-g13.patch - kernel.spec no longer resolve to actual files. Can these patches be recreated from the codebase? Would anything stop the G13 driver from working on a newer kernel (4.1.2 at time of writing)? If not, could the same patch-making procedure be used to support a newer version of the kernel? As Star Citizen [1] is slowly coming to fruition, [2] I'd like to be able to use an absurd number of input devices [3] to control the game, so I could put the old G13 to good use. Cheers, Quint [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Citizen [2]: http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Anticipated_release_schedule [3]: https://kostasfsworld.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/dsc00424.jpg |

ust letting everyone know that I've updated the the G13 website at http://g13.sourceforge.net with an initial version of the doxygen documentation. It's _very_ rough, but there is a step by step guide for building the latest Fedora 12 kernel and links to the patches. As for the driver, there are still some changes to come, but it should be rather functional, including the keymapping, leds, backlight, lcd, joystick, etc. For Fedora users, in the subversion repository in the extras/ directory you'll find a udev rule file named 60-g13.rules. This should work for other distros as well, but I say Fedora since that's what I use, and there is a spec for making an rpm of the rule file. If you go this route you'll want to have a g13fb group (the rpm will make it for you) and you'll want to add yourself to the group. That way you'll have permissions on the framebuffer device (probably /dev/fb1) when you plug in the G13. I'll post an update sometime next week, and hopefully I'll have time to build a few kernels before then. -- Rick |

Just an update to let everyone know that I've submitted version 0.0.5 of the Linux driver to the Linux USB, input and fbdev lists. -- Rick |

It got buried in my email and I didn't notice it until I was cleaning things up. I am trying to work it though the kernel process. I'll update here when I have more info. Currently I'm messing around with the suspend/resume code to get the LCD image, backlight color and M* key led's reset on resume. |

Hello All, I'm curious as to what the current development status is for this driver? Is the plan to eventually get this merged into the kernel? I've built the driver, and it seems to load when I plug the device in, but I'm not sure what to do at that point to make the device usable. I'm a developer by profession, although I've never done kernel development, and I'd be glad to help with this driver in any way I can. Udo Hoerhold |
