I'm thinking about replacing my mouse and keyboard with a cordless one like Logitech optical mouse and keyboard. Has anybody any experience with this on SuSE 8.2? The SDbase is not really very helpfull.

Thanks for your help.

I've been using a cordless Trackman Wheel since 7.3 (skipped 8.1) and now on 8.2, and it's worked perfectly for me. No hiccups or anything. I haven't tried a cordless keyboard yet though.

I bought a Logitech cordless keyboar/mouse about two months ago. In kombination with lineak it worked great for three weeks with SuSE 8.2. Then my cat managed to tip over a cup of coffee that was badly placed - dead keyboard. But I really liked the cordless option. As I'm unemployed I couldn't affor a new Logitech so I got a cheaper cordless - micro$oft. (he said blushing). It too has worked without problems.

I am using a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse and Keyboard under SuSE 8.2 and find it quite nice. You will have to amend the /etc/X11/XF86config file to add a couple of option lines, in order to use the wheel, but otherwise, it is quite nice. One drawback: To save energy, there are no LEDs on the keyboard, and the accompanying software which displays the equivalents of LEDs on the screen is Windows-only.

Dennis, This is not really a problem either as programs are available to do that in Linux as well. I have found two very nice ones. One is a program that displays in the systray, while the other is an applet with sounds, mouse control, etc. I like the applet one the best myself, but have rpm files for both if you should want them too. Just email me off list. They are both small, so should not hurt in email transfer.

What camera? I had a similar problem with a Sony digital camera and discovered that a small tweak to the USB module was all that was needed. It's possible that you may be able to get it working... maybe... C.

Or the universal solution, a usb card-reader.

I have just ordered one . Let you know how it goes. Thanks for your reply Patrick. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. My holy cow is a penguin.
