NAME

       g15daemon - provides access to extra keys and the LCD available on the logitech G15 keyboard.

DESCRIPTION

       G15Daemon  allows  users  access to all extra keys by decoding them and pushing 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 (sample 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 operating 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.
