Using the Logitech G13 with Warzone 2100 --- Any interest???
Posted: 22 Sep 2010, 17:56
I've been working on kernel driver for the Logitech G13 gamepad. I have the driver about 95% done (I have one more framebuffer issue to work on before submitting it). I've also gotten reports that a modification of the driver works with the G-series keyboards as well.
In addition to the kernel driver I've also been working on a userspace family of libraries that allow easier access to the device, as well as a daemon that can control multiple G13s and supports macros.
I've just started on a dbus module for the daemon that would allow an external app (like Warzone 2100) to open a dbus channel and send messages or status out on the dbus. The daemon in turn could have a Warzone 2100 applet running that picked up the messages and present the user with an LCD display.
Is there any interest in a side-project like this?
Even if there's no interest in an applet, setting up a loadable keymap to include with the G13 code wouldn't be very difficult... I'd just need suggestions on what keys to map into which position.
