Logitech LX7 Cordless Mouse working in Ubuntu

Ok after a few weeks of tweaking I finally got this nice little cordless mouse working as good as I can get it to work.

Xorg.conf settings:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "10"
EndSection

then use xmodmap to map the buttons:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7"

Now we need to make a startup script so this works when we restart and don’t have to go doing all this silly typing.

So I created a launcher with the xmodmap script as an “Application in Terminal” then “System”=>”Preferences”=>”Sessions” then click “New” on “Startup Programs” and the browse for the Launcher you just created!

Headphone Support for Acer Aspire on Ubuntu (finally figured it out)

So after I got the laptop speakers working a while back i could not figure out how to get the headphone jack rockin…so here it is…and its simple.

Open the sound config panel.  Go to  Edit=>Preferences.  Then add “Front” and “Headphone”.

Now you need to turn the “Surround” all the way down – or mute it – so that you don’t blast “Sexy Boy” to the entire coffee shop…whoops ;)

Then turn “Front” all the way up and under the “Switches” tab make sure “Headphones” is checked.

Now you should have headphone goodness…and spare the coffee shop your obsession with French chillout bands.
