Description Julien Allanos (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-25 21:25:28 UTC 
That would be nice imho. Attached is a quick (libgphoto2 inspired) udev rule to call "logitech_applet -s 800" when a USB mouse is plugged in. This rule might be improved of course.

I wonder if higher resolutions are supported by newer mice. In that case, I believe a "-s max" option would be great. Thoughts? Thanks.

Note that the following change is needed in order to avoid udev warnings at boot with exported /usr/.

Please do choose a name not being 99-*.rules, but do use 40-* or similar.
