Set Up the Logitech MX Revolution in Linux with Revoco

Feb 22nd

Download Revoco 0.5

Wheel:

The basic mouse functions will work in Linux but to get the mouse wheel customized, download Revoco 0.5. Extract the contents to some folder, go to that folder in the terminal and compile it by typing “make”.

Run revoco without any parameters to see the usage. Remember to run it as root! I personally prefer setting it to auto so I’ll run something like this:

sudo ./revoco auto=18

Where the number indicates the sensitivity. 0 = free scroll, 50 = clicky scroll.

The neat thing about revoco is that, unlike Logitech’s SetPoint, you only need to run this once and the settings stay regardless of whether the next computer you plug it in has SetPoint or revoco. Handy if you need it to function the way you like on a work computer
