Hi John,

I've passed your comment along to our developers.

Kind Regards,

With microsoft's recent announcement of the "recall" software addition there is going to be a mass migration to linux.

I have spent several days now with no success to get my TrackIR 5 working under Arch linux.

I am sure I am not alone in wishing for a native Linux solution to get this hardware working without resorting to a bakers dozens of hacks to make it work.

I'd be happy with a precompiled binary so nothing has to be open source or put the TrackIR IP at risk.

Please can we get this pushed into the "do it now" tray.

Many thanks D

In two weeks, the community will have been asking for this feature for 21 years. I'm starting to suspect the poor person moderating this forum may be the only one left and NP don't have any developers that still know how TrackIR works... Just think... 21 years! All the devs that worked on it will have long since left. I think I'm just gonna pack the TrackIR up in the box and stick it on ebay :-/

They would still have the source code, i think the problem they have like many other third party developers is that linux is open sourced, once they make the driver then everyone will see the source. Windows ain't open sourced so the tools that would show the source are not available. I could be wrong, but it has been third party that has been holding linux back from logitech, to this company. They see the demand, but linux is open sourced.
