Despite their use of numeric components which render them arbitrary and meaningless to humans in the first place, links to Microsoft-run web servers are inevitably prone to breakage in the wake of the company's insatiable, inexplicable and inexcusable lust for moving content around without any kind of forwarding. I apologise in advance for when the various links to MSDN API documentation become broken.Logitech's mistakes only apply to the latter, horizontal case (WM_MOUSE**H**WHEEL) and their handling of the more common vertical case seems completely fine. Note 1 - WM_MOUSEWHEEL vs WM_MOUSEHWHEEL: I share my findings here to help other developers. The mistakes cause problems in many applications and I have personally wasted hours, if not days, battling them in my own code.

At the begging of the process I had my keyboard and their receiver on my pc and I was adding a new mouse, so in all the I had two mouses. When you close your VM ubuntu will take control over the receiver and you'll have your both devices with the same unifying receiver. When you make the pair, the mouse seems to work weridly on the VM, due the fact that the reiver is no longer over ubuntu control but VM contol (movenet fails but buttons works). I just made the configuration througth a Windows xp VM machine and works nice (Maverik and Virtualbox Windows XP VM).īasically you needs to install logitech software on your VM and then let the VM gain control over the unifying receiver (making rigth click on the virtualbox status bar and selecting the unifying receiver tagged as Logitech receiver ).Īfter that XP will recognice the new hw and let you access to their configuration (by the logitech sw) and you should pair a new device. IF you aren't familiar with the unifying software you can download the Setpoint driver/control system off the Logitech page if you feel like playing to see if you can get it to work. and anyone else out there who is familiar with the system please chime in. I've not managed to get a VM created yet to try it though. If pairing it in Windows is all it needs for Ubuntu to recognize it then doing the same thing in a VM should work as well. Haven't explored how that might translate for the unifying software which is now built into the setpoint program. Or copy them from the sys file they are stored in in Windows. But I just read how you have to take windows drivers and split them into parts and use cerain parts to load them into Ubuntu even using Wine. It was a no go.would error out within seconds of starting. That is using Wine and installing the software that way. So far I've come up with 2 thoughts one which I couldn't get to work at all. Thanks for your response! Never occured to me that moving the receiver might work.I thought it was somehow paired to the machine as well. Is there some way to get it to operate as more than just a basic USB mouse? **I also really miss the full functionality of this mouse. If they are paired then Ubuntu picks them up as basic USB keyboard/mouse. If one of the batteries die then I have to go into Windows to re-establish pairing. **Is there a way to get Ubuntu to recognize and allow me to configure this mouse? I do know that the receiver is being identified by name but as an unknown button in Device Manager. Given enough time this might not be such an issue. Although I'm starting to get much better with the touchpad (on the netbook). The keyboard isn't that big of a deal, but the mouse is. Previously (when windows only) I could switch back and forth by turning one off, or unplugging the receiver and then pairing up with the one I was getting ready to work with.Ĭurrently this requires me to boot into Windows and run the unitying program then reboot into Ubuntu. Both are currently dual boot Win7 & Natty. I have a receiver in my main PC and in my netbook. Both are wireless USB using Logitech's unifying receiver. I am currently using a Logitech Performance Mouse MX and a K250 Keyboard. I am very, very new to Ubuntu and after a couple of decades of Windows indoctrination I'm only slowly beginning to recall some of the very ancient BASIC and such I used way back when. I thought I was probably just missing some understanding of installing or accessing something. I posted a while back in Absolute Beginner Forum I'm not sure if I just didn't get things out clearly or if it wasn't the proper place.
