Any bug report or improvement idea is very welcome. See the "how to install" link below for installation instructions on KDE. Else extract the archive in ~/.icons/ .
With the sources download below you can configure and build your own set of cursors regarding transparency, outline- fill- and shadow-color, the size and various other options. See the scripts and README included. Note that you *must* have inkscape and ImageMagick installed to make use of it.
The cursors are named according to the freedesktop cursor naming convention now. The rest is linked. I hope nothing is missing. Additional cursors for mozilla/firefox are availlable.
Want left-handed cursors? Take the "-LH" downloads below.
The RPM installation has moved in 0.4.2 from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons to /usr/share/icons, so if you installed a previous version by rpm you better uninstall the package first - things might get messed up.
Enhancements:
- Fixed .theme file syntax, cursors dont appear as icons in gnome any more (thanx to Sune Vuorela).

Js2mouse converts joystick events into mouse events, so the user can use his joystick/gamepad as a pointer instead of the mouse.

It works with any kind of joystick (analogic or digital) and with any kind of program (XFree86, GPM, etc.).

The user does not need to be root. It can emulate PS/2 and IMPS/2 protocols, and joystick keys can be assigned.

Installation:

make
make install (as root)

Razer DeathAdder mouse configuration is a configuration utility for the Razer DeathAdder on Linux systems.

Enhancements:
- This adds support for the Razer Krait mouse.

Multi-Cursor Window Manager is a modified Unix window manager which provides multiple cursors. This allows multiple users to simultaneously interact with a Unix desktop environment.

Using a modified x2x client users can capture the keyboard and mouse input from their workstation and send to their personal cursor on a shared computer display. Multiple cursors are distinguished by different colors, and users can simultaneously interact with separate windows.

There are 7 uniquely colored cursors available. The current multi-cursor window manager is based on a modified version of IceWM 1.2.13

The multi-cursor window manager works by time-slicing the system cursor to provide the appearance of multiple independent cursors.

Compiling the Software:

To compile Ice Window Manager:

>cd icewm
>./configure --without-imlib
>make
>make install

Note: there is a preferences file in the icewm directory ("icewm/preferences"). Move this file to the installation preferences directory. It has some default choices that work well for multi-user interaction. Also, use the "nice" theme in IceWM.

To compile the x2x client:

>cd x2x-mp
>xmkmf
>make

Gizmo Daemon is the Linux Input Device Utility.
Ever want to make use of those keyboard keys and mouse buttons that X wont let you use? Ever want to quickly define a keyboard shortcut to do something like change or mute the volume? Ever want to use your joystick, second mouse, Griffin PowerMate, or any other random device you can think of to do fun things like control applications, switch desktops, switch tracks in XMMS / BMP, launch programs, or do pretty much anything else you can think of?
Are you a MythTV user? Got an RF or IR (LIRC) Remote? Annoyed with how frustrating it is to map keys, or is the remote super touchy? Would you like a simple easy way to configure your remote, and have it function properly at the same time? Want to have different key maps based on what application is currently being used?
Gizmo Daemon does all of that, and more! Gizmo Daemon operates on a fairly simple philosophy: let the user decide. Any and all device events are sent to the configuration scripts, and from there the user can decide what should be done with those events. A number of functions are exposed to the scripts which allows the script to interact with any of the loaded device plugins in any way desired.
Main features:
- Control any application with any device
- Utilize those special keys on your fancy keyboard, even if your X server or terminal doesnt support them! Now you can actually make the volume controls change the volume, or the media buttons control XMMS / BMP! Set the buttons to launch your favorite programs, switch virtual desktops, or run whatever application you want!
- Give per application key mappings, very handy for remote users!
- Fix touchy remotes by removing quick duplicate keystrokes
- Control system mixer volume
- Change virtual desktops (only for EWMH capable window managers)
- Launch programs
- Send keyboard and mouse events to applications
- Send device events from one device to another, or create fake device events (control a mouse cursor with a joystick, or keyboard)
- Visualization of system events such as CPU USage, and XMMS / BMP sound output on visual devices (such as the LED on the Griffin PowerMate USB Dial).
- Fancy on screen displays via XOSD. Now your workstation or MythTV box can have nice TV friendly volume displays controlled by your remote!
- And more! Anything you can think of is probably possible
Enhancements:
- Add Powermate setRotateSensitivity function
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_ROTATE_SENSITIVITY for this!
- Add PowermateEvent ClickTime property (duration of button press)
- Add GizmodThread class for creating threads from Python
- DO NOT USE!! (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL!)
- Add GizmodTimer class for creating timer objects from Python
- Add script 200-Powermate-ButtonTimeout for generating button
timeout events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_BUTTON_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add script 201-Powermate-Beryl
- So far this detects a powermate button timeout and
unfolds the beryl cube, and lets you scroll the unfolded
cube with the dial
- Add base script GizmoScriptAltTabber so that devices have an
easy way of sending Alt-Tab events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
ALT_TAB_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add remote ?00-Intercept scripts for alt-tabbing support
- This allows the default mapping to start alt-tab
and to still alt-tab passed applications (if alt-tab
actually focuses apps) if those apps happen to use
the same button that initialized the alt-tab
- Add Gizmod namespace to libGizmod
