Logitech MediaPlay Cordless Mouse USB Linux driver is a driver for the USB Logitech MediaPlay mice.

The main purpose of this page is to share my experiences with Logitech MediaPlay Cordless Mouse. Here you will find all the necessary information to put your MediaPlay mouse fully operational.

When i bought this mouse, the first thing that crossed my mind was the incompatibility between all this multimedia buttons and Linux. After googling about it, I noticed there was no useful information regarding this mouse, so I decided to put myself at work.

Did my reseach, and after a few hours browsing kernel source files, reading some usb documentation, code changes, I was able to make the bit map for MediaPlay multimedia keys.

The next step was to change usbmouse.c by Vojtech Pavlik allowing it to get and export mouse extra keys as keyboard entries using kernel input core support.

Gqcam is a Linux clone of the QuickPict software that comes with the QuickCam. Originally it was written using GTK+ for the frontend, Alex Belits qcread for the backend, and a bunch of C to tie it all together.
It still uses GTK+ for the frontend, but as of version 0.2 it uses the Video4Linux interface as a backend. To compile it you will need GTK+, a Quickcam (one of the old greyscale parallel port ones), and a computer running Linux with Video4Linux support for the Quickcam compiled in or as a module.
It is currently fairly early in development, and now works with both the color and greyscale QuickCam. No, that doesnt include the QuickCam VC or any other ones (that I know of). Unfortunatly, Logitech/Connectix dont want to let us know how their new cameras work..
Main features:
- Brightness Control
- White Balance Control
- Contrast Control
- 3 Size Settings
- 2 Depth Settings
- Freeze Picture
- Snap Picture (saves in png, ppm and jpeg format)
- Command-line interface (good for webcam use)
- Snapping on a timer
- Support for the greyscale and color Quickcam, as well as CPiA based cameras and most any other driver that supports the read() command
The cameras I have gotten gqcam to work with or have had other people tell me it works with are:
- Greyscale Quickcam
- Color Quickcam
- Anything listed below this line I have not tested and know very little about
- Ezonics EZcam
- Creative Web-Cam II
- Philips USB PCVC675K
- Webcam III
- TerraCAM USB
- Plustek OptiCam 300U

arm0nia (harmony) is a group of projects that intend to create software for making UNIX and UNIX like operating systems, more powerfull and friendly. Our first goal is to create a Dynamic Modular Desktop Environment.

Installation

1. pm.conf

The PM needs to known on which directory it is installed.

1.1. Copy the pack/pm.conf to /etc
1.2. Fix the directory variable pmdir of the pm.conf with the correct path.

Example:

If the daemon is located in directory /opt/pm/
Make sure, that the following line is exist in /etc/pm.conf

pmdir=/opt/pm

2. LD_LIBRARY_PATH

We must update ldconfigs path to check our libraries and modules. That can be done with several ways.

Note: in the following examples, I suppose that PM is located on /opt/pm

2.a. The best is to update the /etc/ld.so.conf

Open that file and append two new paths.
If our PMs directory is the /opt/pm add the following lines

/opt/pm/lib
/opt/pm/plugins

Save the file and update the cache by running ldconfig without parameters

2.b. Another way is to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the system startup.

2.b.1. on bash

Open the /etc/profile and append the following lines.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/pm/lib:/opt/pm/plugins export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2.b.2. on tcsh

Open the /etc/csh.cshrc and append the following line.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/pm/lib:/opt/pm/plugins

Finally do a reboot (you can avoid it, but if you known how, then you dont need to read my doc).

2.c. Another way is to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the shells login script.

The shells login scripts are for bash: ~/.profile for tcsh: ~/.login

You must append the same text as for 2.b case

2.d. Of course, you can do it manually from CLI, but if you are new, use the 2.b case

3. make

Suppose that PM is located on /opt/pm

Use make on

/opt/pm to create daemon and libraries

/opt/pm/plugins to create the plugins

/opt/pm/apps to create the applications

4. run

Run pmd on a virtual-console and try the application on another.

G15daemon takes control of the Logitech G15 keyboard, allowing the use of all keys through the Linux kernel input device driver.

It also controls the use of the keyboards LCD display, allows multiple client applications to connect, and gives the user the ability to quickly switch between LCD client applications.

G15Daemon uses libg15 from g15tools for keyboard control.

USB Headset Buttonss purpose is to enable the Volume up and Down Buttons on my Logitech USB 30 Headset.

USB Headsets are very useful for VoIP applications like SIP Networks or Skype. On my headset I have volume buttons which need extra care to be taken of. This Application does it.

Improv is a tool for basic real time image processing at low resolution, e.g. suitable for mobile robots.
Improv program has been developed for PCs with the Linux operating system and runs under X Windows.
Improv works with a number of inexpensive low-resolution digital cameras (no framegrabber required).
Main features:
- Modular design, allowing for easy integration of new functionality.
- Image processing operations are contained within plugins, compiled as statically
- linked files (.so), which can be loaded and unloaded at run time.
- Improved support for still image sequences.
- An abstract Camera class, simplifying the creation of new camera drivers.
- A completely customisable interface, allowing for complex image processing sequences.
- Written using the QT Windowing library.
- Portable autoconf/automake build scripts.
Improv also includes support for the following cameras:
- Quickcam grayscale camera (parallel port) [no longer sold]
- Make sure to set the protocol of your parallel port correctly (boot-up setting to either ECP or EPP should work).
- Quickcam Color V2 camera (parallel port) [no longer sold]
- Sorry, none of the newer QuickCams work - Connectix/Logitech refuses to disclose the low-level interface.
- Various web cameras with cpia driver, e.g. ZoomCam
- Video 4 Linux cameras
- and preliminary support for Video 4 Linux 2 cameras.
Improv displays the source image (from either a still image or a live camera) in the first window, while subsequent image operations can be applied to this image in five more windows. For each sub-window, a sequence of image processing routines may be specified.
