If the mouse is a proper HID device, then a generic program could (and should) be written for which a mouse profile could be written, similar to the way xkeycaps works. If all Logitech had to do was produce one graphic of the mouse, a set of masks to represent buttons, and a translation of HID events to physical doohickies on the mouse, I bet you they'd be more open to it--especially if you could find someone at Logitech who actually works on their drivers or something. I haven't got direct interest in this because the only mice Logitech makes that I can use are the standard/cheap 3-button wheelmice. That said, if the program shows up, I'd be willing to approach Razer and find out who to contact at Apple regarding their mouse as well. > So, my N52 is collecting dust until there's a good solution. My Diamondback seems not to collect dust, although it hasn't been displaced as much as an inch in the past week. ;) > As for Cedega, if you want to live NEVER EVER mention it in > front of Joseph. Oh no, he can live. Transgaming should die. ;) _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
