Paul,

what is your Xorg 7 - configuration for this mouse. Do you need entries in xmodmap in combination with the razertool?

Thanks for information.

Greetings

Klemi

Hi,

Paul could you incorporate this patch in your ebuild? It fixes the left and right mousebuttons being interchanged in razertool-gtk.

Cheers

Patch added, thanks

Is anyone else getting random USB disconnects with the mouse recently? It could be a problem with my Via USB chipset, rather than the mouse itself.

Edit: OK, so I disassembled the mouse, put it back together again (removing the bit of plastic for the underside button because it's so darn fiddly), and the random disconnects mysteriously vanished. Presumably the problem was a loose connection somewhere within the mouse.

Edit again: The random disconnects continued at a rate of 2-5 per day, so I bought a new Copperhead (this one doesn't have "first edition" stamped on it). The left mouse button is a bit too loose, and it rattles, without a tiny bit of putty placed on its edge

On the plus side, The "razerflash" command works to update the firmware

Hi,

strange...
Did you save the ebuild in /usr/local/portage/app-misc/razertool/?
What arch is this gentoo?

Yes I saved it to /usr/local/portage/app-misc/razertool/ and I am running X86 gentoo.

I tried

Hi,

you need libusb-0.1.12 because version 0.1.10 doesn't provide pkg-config files which are needed by razertool.
Just put

Hi,

that's why I said to run

orlfman · n00b Joined: 31 Jul 2006 Posts: 66

I got it installed but wondering how can I get my back and forward button to work? I tried razertool -8 ALT_LEFT but it's saying only up to 7? O_O

Edit:

Use razertool-gtk and maximize it. The GUI shows you which number each button has.

You can add the "~amd64" keyword to the ebuild - it works all as suspected ;-)

Don't wanna intrude guys, but I started a thread on bugzilla (sinds I couldn't find anything on razer on the bugzilla)

There's a preliminairy (sp) ebuild on there (without ~amd64) but it doesn't work yet. in the sense that it fails on 'make install' with a permission denied. Dunno what's up with that, other then that the ebuild works just fine.

I have Razer Diamondback and am very happy with it except one bug, which Razer solved in the windows drivers (no music for linux):
When you move the mouse slowly to one side (ie. left) and then change to the other (right....) it skips one pixel thus moving by two pixels instead of just one. This is very annoying when working with graphics (if you misalign something by one pixel, you have either to zoom in, or move further to the other side and then get back. imagine you overshoot it again and perhaps once more....)
Can someone who owns a Copperhead try and post if it's also affected? Because if it isn't I'll get one immediately.

my 100th post :mrgreen:

My copperhead should arrive tomorrow, if you can wait, I will see how it behaves.

This command slows the mouse cursor down enough to use with 2000 dpi (factory profile 1, identified by 1 light blink after pressing the underside button):
