Thanks Endolf for your response again.  The link you have listed is for the build.  I need to rebuild the source code for glibc 2.7, if I recall.

At what point did the source code change?

Not sure which version it is.  Doesnt seem to be any info in the readme file.  I noticed that there is a version.java file, which has the version variable.  This is set to 2.0.0.-b01.  Is this correct?

I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe I should look at the source code.

Thanks endolf for you response.  I have managed to sort the problem out.  I configured the xorg.conf file and added the autoDetectEnabled flag to false and explicitly added each mouse.

If anyone needs to do this they can contact me if they like and I will help out.

I have managed to do some digging around on the net and decided to change the X11 xorg.conf file.  Although unsuccessful at this moment.  The configuration involved setting the 2nd mouse to stop sending events to X, by setting the SendCoreEvents to false.  To distinguish the device I used the command lshal(Hardware Abstraction Level, but I am bit concerned that the device driver it uses is /dev/input/event5!

I am also wondering at this moment if I was successful and stopped the 2nd mouse from sending SendCoreEvents to X if that would cause the jinput to not work!  Can someone please confirm?

Hi,
  I use log4j in my application and have noted that the application doesnt run correctly i.e. the thread waiting on the event queue doesnt run or seems to hang!

I also notice that when I run my app and when I call the getDefaultEnvironment.getControllers() method that some debug/info is printed.  This looks suspiciously like a log4j format?

Are there any known issues relating to log4j?

Thanks.

Hi,
  I have a system with x2 mice connected.  When I run my app I want to have one mouse dedicated to controlling certain aspects of the app, including character movements etc.  Whilst the other mouse has the behaviour of a normal mouse.

So I am thinking that I need to disable one of the mice behaviour within the operating system.  Is this correct?  Or can I do this within the jinput API?

Hope someone can help.

Hi,
  I am currently writing an app to detect multiple mice and then use a specific one.  The app is intended to run on linux but I have run into a few problems so I am testing on windows! 

I have a machine with 2 mice connected.  When I run the app I only detect one of the mice! 

I am running the followinpublic class ControllerManager {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      ControllerEnvironment controllerEnvironment = ControllerEnvironment
            .getDefaultEnvironment();
      Controller[] aController = controllerEnvironment.getControllers();
      for (int iController = 0; iController < aController.length; iController++) {
         Controller controller = aController[iController];
         System.out.println(controller.getType());
      }
   }

}

Cheers endolf,
  I would appreciate it. 

I have sent a customer support email to logitech to ask if they could assist.

I am sure it is not present.  I have tested with various combinations - the mouse and keyboard disconnected.  With still no joy 

I have tried a different trackerball(USB) and I cant detect that!  I dont understand 

Could it be because it is USB?

Thanks endolf for the reply.  Just installed the logitech software - I presume this includes the driver?.

When I run my test application it still is not recognising the device!!!!!  Could there be an issue that I already have a USB mouse plugged into my PC and JInput cant differentiate between the mouse and the trackman?

Can someone please help me out - I am stuck?

Hi,
  I have a logitech trackman wheel and when I run the following code it doesnt detect it!  Although I do detect my mouse and keyboard.  I havent installed the logitech driver!  Do I need to?  The reason I havent yet is because Windows seems to recognise it when I plug the device in- and it works as a mouse.  Does anyone know why?

Thanks for the quick reply princec.

Just looking at JInput and the api. 

Do you know of some examples I can look at?  In particular detecting the two mice?

Hi,
  I am currently developing a java app which is controlled by 2 mice.  1 mouse will have normal mouse behaviour whilst the other mouse needs to a specific widget on the app.  Can someone tell me:

1. Can I use the standard java api?
2. How do I detect the appropriate mouse?

Hope someone can help,
  Paul.
