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.
