Arch Linux User Repository

In case anyone was interested, I forked this project and have been modernizing it and improving it slowly. I've fixed many issues, solved issues with sleep/suspend, modernized the build system, updated the code to C++23, and I have more plans as time permits. I haven't yet uploaded my pkgbuild, as my version is still in development, but it's stable enough for day to day use anyhow. Likewise, I've made some changes to the config syntax from the original, so I've re-branded my fork "g13d" to not cause confusion.

You can find the pkgbuild within the GitHub repo if you wish to install it.

If anyone is having problems with connection time outs with github.com trying to install this package, you may need to edit PKGBUILD like this:

Change line 14 from:

source=("${pkgname}::git://github.com/khampf/g13" "g13.tmpfiles")

to:

source=("${pkgname}::git+https://github.com/khampf/g13" "g13.tmpfiles")

@Linux-Gamer89 You'll probably have better luck asking for support upstream [0] instead of here.

That said, you might need to set the stickmode [1].

Hi, been using this driver for a while now and had no problems. I've recently done a fresh install and I can't get it to load the bind file correctly - it only seems to be binding the stick and none of the other buttons.

The driver seems to load, the LED's go green and I get the GNU/G13 and Linux inside Logo but it binds the stick wrong and doesn't seem to bind any other key. Any help appreciated thanks

If the key STICK_UP or STICK_DOWN is pressed longer, the corresponding key is only displayed once instead of continuously. With the key STICK_LEFT or STICK_RIGHT it works.

gmock was only needed for a single test that can be excluded - I will add the dependency later if I get more tests written.

Nevermind. Sorry for that.

I just saw that I can get that package from AUR as well. I installed it and now g13 finished building.

Are there any way to put the package as requirement?

Thanks

Hi, I am using manjaro+gnome, and trying to build using the add/remove software.

but I get this gmock error

I finally got somewhere, USB-hotplugging is supported (libusb is a strange creature so mileage may wary). Try it out and also - I opened the issues tracker on github so you can report issues there, might be easier than reporting anything in comments here on AUR
