But it also have a software controllable brake.
Pluggin in such mouse to a linux system, the mouse works but neither the brake nor clicking the scrollwheel as third button do not work.
Revoco is the program to install that both give you the third button, and automatic brake (if you want), i.e release brake on fast scroll, brake at low speed.
In a new folder do:
- Code: Select all
$ wget http://maemo.cloud-7.de/mx-revolution/revoLUTIONconTROL/revoco.c
$ wget http://maemo.cloud-7.de/mx-revolution/revoLUTIONconTROL/Makefile
$ make
$ chmod +x revoco
$ su
# mv revoco /usr/bin
# revoco auto=10
Done, and working immediately
The number is the number of clicks in one motion before freespin unlocks.
It re-locks again after it stops.
Most importantly this gives back the middle mouse or mouse3 button.
list commands: # revoco

- Very strange Logitech choose not to support their own products!
They do not even host this solution other have given the world for them!

You can also set the extra buttons those mice have
I have not tried that yet
A few links on the matter:

The file to edit/make to set your mouse as raw HID is probably /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules ?
