I have switched the entire family to linux. I tell everyone I know to move off windows. The hassles and problems with windows are just not worth it. If it doesn't work with linux we have left it behind. Really, Microsoft will become the operating system of yesterday. Linux support is forward thinking and will make others more likely to buy your product even though they may be running windows as they may be planning to transition to another operating system in the future.

Since Logitech was asking for it: I'm very interested in Linux support. I have a pen and a laptop with Vista and Linux on it, and I can't use the pen with either of them right now. But if I could choose, I would prefer Linux support.

Hi there, I run only Linux Ubuntu too and spent about 400$ on Logitech products. I like the diNovo Edge keyboard especially, but because not all buttons can be operated under Linux I can hardly recommend it to other people. By withholding the such basic information as scancodes you are really limiting your customer base unnecessarily.

Logitech, wake up. The time of Linux being only for geeks and Windows for the mainstream user is gone. It's not only Windows anymore. More and more people are switching to Linux. More and more people finally start to realize Windows **bleep** and there are much better operating systems. When does Logitech realize not everyone uses Windows? Please support Linux. Not supporting Linux is so pre-Vista.

I've always bought input-devices from Logitech. I've got several keyboards, mice and steering wheels from Logitech. These are great products and I'd like to buy more products from Logitech in the future, but I'll only do so when Logitech starts to support Linux. I only buy product from those who support Linux (for example my printer which has Tux on the box and the Linux-drivers included on the CD). So support Linux or you'll lose customers (as you can read in the other Linux-threads in these forums). Open your eyes ao you'll see all those people in these forums asking for Linux-support and treathning to leave if you don't support Linux.

Logitech release Linux-drivers for all of your products, add a Tux-logo to the products on your website (and on the retail box) so everyone can see they are compatible with Linux and...

release keyboards without the Windows-logo. Make some keyboards with a Tux-key.

Hi, does the Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse work with linux laptops? I would like to know if anyone managed to get it working with Ubuntu for instance, before I go ahead and buy the mouse.

Ubuntu 8.04.1+ (and probably 7.10).

Go to "System" -> "Preferences" -> "Keyboard"

Choose the "Layouts" tab -> There's a selection list for Keyboard Model. Choose Logitech under Vendor and your keyboard under model. There's as new as diNovo Edge listed - which BTW Logitech, is why I'm buying one and btnx (in Ubuntu repositories) is why I use multiple MX Revolution mice.

THANK YOU!!! to whoever made this possible at Ubuntu. Did Logitech have anything to do with it?

I whole heartedly agree with a tux logo on the box, website and "windbloze" key.

BTW: Some of us have been after Logitech to support Linux until well past blue in the face. I gave up last year and then stumbled across the btnx package. I then tried a MX revolution mouse and it works pretty good.
