RazerTool for Linux

For anyone who uses Razer Copperhead and has at some point been frustrated by Razer’s lack of support for Linux users: here is a new (unofficial) tool for controlling the mouse in Linux – upgrading the firmware, switching profiles, etc.. It has a command line version and a gtk version, and it is very handy.

    You have to install libc6 first – run sudo apt-get install libc6

    Hmm I installed it on the exact same system, although I’m running edgy now. Its possible that your apt sources are outdated. Failing that, I have no idea – sorry :(

    Glad to hear it – maybe get in contact with the razer tool guys, I’m sure the source for the GTK version is out there somewhere.
