Comment on Linux 3.2 and Logitech Unifying Receiver by Andrea

Strange is that I have the Unifying Receiver working for my keyboard and M180 mouse without any problem, but I’ve also bought a Performance MX mouse and I have to pull out and then in the usb connector to activate it…

This is because you have CONFIG_EXPERT (aka. CONFIG_SHOOT_SELF_IN_FOOT) enabled. There you need to be extra careful on kernel upgrades.

You might want to all make sure people know they’ll need to add HID Raw too

I fell fowl of that too

Comment on Metadata Cache Backend Based on Extended Attributes by betelgeuse

It was interesting to test and implement in order to find out how extended attributes work. Not everything implemented has to be something that would actually become something users would use or even usable in the general sense.

Please tell me this is an elaborate hoax.

Awesome! I'm so glad that you implemented and tested this, since it's the same as an idea I had a while back.

Profiling sounds like a great idea. Might be that the performance would out-do current if a bug or few get fixed.

How's the cold-cache comparison? I'd expect that accessing half the number of files (ebuild only instead of cache+ebuild) doesn't improve performance.

Seems that proper command is:
layman -a java-overlay

instead of simply “java”

Thanks

Comment on Getting MX Revolution setup in Gentoo by Joe

It seems there's a new version of the MX-5500 mouse with the same vendor and product ID, but that communicates differently, and revoco hasn't been updated to work with it. It detects the MX-5500 and prints the warning about it being experimental, but ultimately doesn't work

At work, I have the previous version and it works great to change mode. But at home, I have the newer one, and it doesn't work. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with libusb to see immediately why it's failing. I do have several notes from a usbmon dump while using VirtualBox/XP to control the mouse, and have identified several features of both the keyboard and the mouse, in case anyone would like to take a stab at fixing revoco's support or writing an additional application for working with the keyboard. Feel free to contact me for the usbmon dump and notes.
