You probably want this to happen automatically at startup, so add it to your default runlevel (again as root): The first thing to do is make certain the keytouvh daemon is running.$ echo 'x11-misc/keytouch ~x86' > /etc/portage/package.keywords

It is likely masked (it definately is for x86), so do the following after you have updated your portage tree:

The first step is to get the keytouch software.

Most of the default keyboard profiles come with really sane default actions, so you can be up and running in minimal time.

There are quite a few built-in plugins that work with the most popular applications, so there is little need for shell scripting/additional programming.

It comes with a very user friendly interface that is easy to navigate and set up.

It is built with GTK+ and has support for KDE (if you enable the kde use flag), so most users that use the 2 main desktops should not have to pull in large amounts of dependencies (I use KDE and already had the bear minimum of GTK installedfor a few other apps I use).

Keytouch has the following advantages that make it a good choice to get up and running quickly:

This section of the tutorial will use the keytouch software ( ) to get things up and running. Getting the keyboard to work the easy way (using Keytouch) I needed to enable ISA support (my PS/2 ports apparently use an ISA bus), and Plug and Play support. The problem was I hadn't enabled proper support for all of the serio stuff. I initially had trouble after switching to PS/2 with my mouse not working.This sucks much, but the author of keytouch is working with the kernel devs to rectify this. Please shut down your machine and switch your keyboard and mouse over to PS/2. This will stop us from getting all of the keyboard keys working.

The current USB keyboard driver in the current series of the Linux kernel (2.6.*) is somewhat broken.Since there are only 3 mouse buttons, I haven't been able to get working in PS/2 mode (zoom-, zoom+ and 100%) and those buttons are duplicated on the keyboard, I have chosen to go the PS/2 route and sacrifice the 3 mouse buttons that don't work for now, instead of the 20+ keyboard buttons that aren't recognized in USB mode.ДЇirst, there are a few issues that we work around: It seems, however, that using USB allows you to get all mouse buttons working (something I have yet to accomplish in PS/2 mode). Unfortunately, at the moment, PS/2 is the only way to get all keys on the keyboard working. If you choose to use PS/2 then both keyboard and mouse need to be PS/2.Information about the MX3000 Cordless Desktop ComboДЄfter looking at Logitech's website, I found the following out about the MX3000 combo that may prove useful: Once things have stablized, I will move it over to.
