Thanks for starting this thread. Neat to have no cables as keyboard/trackpad replacement when I have a few keyboards that failed badly on me :-(
Just hoping for a plug and play solution Can't get the lsusb utility ... said package not found by yum. The wireless stuff are from Logitec...with model mk260 (logitech wireless combo with mouse) k400r (wireless keyboard with trackpad) Cheers and will try the workround. >-----Original Message----- >From: James Cameron [mailto:qu...@laptop.org] >Sent: Friday, September 19, 2014 09:48 AM >To: tkk...@nurturingasia.com >Cc: 'T Gillett', devel@lists.laptop.org, p...@laptop.org >Subject: Logitech USB wireless keyboard with trackpad on XO-1.75 > >This deserves a new thread, as it is not related to purchase of >replacement keyboards.
