G15Daemon(1) 1 G15Daemon(1) NAME g15daemon - provides access to extra keys and the LCD available on the log- itech G15 keyboard. DESCRIPTION G15Daemon allows users access to all extra keys by decoding them and push- ing them back into the kernel via the linux UINPUT driver. This driver must be loaded before g15daemon can be used for keyboard access. The G15 LCD is also supported. By default, with no other clients active, g15daemon will display a clock. Client applications and scripts can access the LCD via a simple API. OPTIONS The current version of G15Daemon understands the following options: -v Show version info. -s By default, g15daemon uses the L1 key to switch between client screens. Using this switch on the cmdline alters this, making MR (Macro Record) the button to achieve this function. -k Stop a previously running copy of G15Daemon. For the keys and LCD to work, you'll have to restart the daemon manually. -h Show a brief summary of commandline options available. BASIC USAGE G15Daemon must be run as the root user, either from a startup script (sam- ple scripts are available in the contrib folder) or manually, via the su command. To run the daemon with default options, run: g15daemon or g15daemon -s to have the MR key as the client screen switch. If all required libraries are installed and in locations known to your op- erating system, the daemon will slip quietly into the background and a clock will appear on the LCD. Congratulations! The linux kernel will now output keycodes for all your extra keys. Using the keys in X11 Current versions of the Xorg Xserver dont have support for the extra keys that g15daemon provides. This support will be available in the next re- lease of Xorg (7.2). For now, if you want access to the extra keys for hotkey support in X11, you need to run the xmodmaprc script on each start of X. This script is available in the contrib folder (if g15daemon is installed in the default location, the contrib folder is in /usr/share/doc/g15daemon-${VERSION}/con- trib Depending on your linux distribution, copying the xmodmaprc file (or past- ing the text below) into ~/.Xmodmap may be all that's required. Xmodmaprc file Copy the following into ~/.Xmodmap (depending on your distribution) for X11 to recognise all extra G15 keys: -- cut here -- keycode 93 = XF86Launch1 keycode 129 = XF86Launch8 keycode 130 = XF86Launch9 keycode 131 = XF86Launch2 keycode 132 = XF86Phone keycode 133 = XF86Messenger keycode 136 = XF86LaunchD keycode 137 = XF86Support keycode 138 = XF86Word keycode 143 = XF86LaunchF keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 150 = XF86LogOff keycode 152 = XF86Launch5 keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 161 = XF86Travel keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 163 = XF86Spell keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 170 = XF86VendorHome keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 177 = XF86Launch4 keycode 178 = XF86HomePage keycode 182 = XF86Away keycode 183 = XF86WebCam keycode 184 = XF86Launch0 keycode 188 = XF86Music keycode 190 = XF86Launch6 keycode 194 = XF86Forward keycode 195 = XF86Send keycode 205 = XF86Calendar keycode 208 = XF86Launch7 keycode 209 = XF86LaunchB keycode 210 = XF86LaunchC keycode 215 = XF86Save keycode 219 = XF86WWW keycode 220 = XF86LaunchE keycode 223 = XF86Sleep keycode 228 = XF86Pictures keycode 231 = XF86LaunchA keycode 236 = XF86Mail keycode 237 = XF86AudioMedia keycode 246 = XF86iTouch keycode 247 = XF86Launch3 keycode 249 = XF86ToDoList keycode 251 = XF86Calculater -- end cutting -- AUTHORS The latest release of g15daemon is available at http://www.gitlab.com/menelkir/g15daemon G15daemon was written by Mike Lampard mlampard@users.sourceforge.net and uses the libg15 library by Philip Lawatsch and Anthony J.
