Logitech VX Revolution Kernel Panics: still no solution?

I think it's been a year now that the VX has came out and the kernel panics started. A year ... and still no updates/patches? Is anyone aware of anything out there?

And please don't say steermouse... I shouldn't have to pay $15 to have my mouse running.
And uninstalling LCC and using a mac driver is out of the question too, cuz it reduces my beautiful mouse to a $7 mouse than you can buy from Chinatown.

Hmph, guess steermouse might be my only option if there is still no help...

 

I believe 2.3.1 solves this issue.

 

? LCC has been updated 3-4 times in the past year. I think the problem was solved in 2.2.2 (or was that 2.2.1?).

In any case, 2.3.1 is fine, although I'm not quite pleased with the direction they took the button customization.

 

No, I think I installed LCC in July, so it was definitely not 2.1.1. Yet it still lead to kernel panics.

How am I supposed to find which version of LCC I've installed? It doesn't indicate it anywhere.

 

Go to System Profiler and look under Preference Panes.

 

2.2.2. Thanks!
Let's see if the new LCC works...

 

Is there a way to uninstall 2.2.2? I checked library > Application Support > Logitech, but I don't see any uninstall programs.

 

Just delete this: /Library/PreferencePanes/Logitech Control Center.prefPane

Or if you want to be sure, you can use AppDelete->Files->Preference Panes->LCC

Or just try installing the new version - it'll probably automatically upgrade it.

 

Yaaay, no more kernel panics with 2.3.1...
but wait...
yes, wait, life is not a Cinderella story, and neither is logitech!
I now get 10 second lags when i "wake" up my mouse when it's been inactive for a while. The cursor moves, but the buttons don't work.
Great, 1 step forward, half a step back ... and I say half a step because I'd rather live with a 10 second lag than constant kernel panics.

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

 

I think I have a similar 2-3 second lag, but mine isn't 10 seconds...

Not that big of a deal though. My VX revolution's Hyperscrolling has also died. (Apparently the axel breaks in time, and the rubber grinds along the bottom...) Going to be faxing a copy of my receipt to them and they'll be sending me a new one (apparently they don't even want my old one back). Fax! Ugh, annoying how they don't take email.

 

Hah better luck than with me. My MBP won't come out from sleep without a kernel panic with the latest LCC 2.3.1. That's with Leopard. I even did a fresh install and it still panics like a mad thing with the software installed, coming out of sleep.

 

That sucks. Did you get any panics with the previous OS? If you did, then how come some computers get the panic, and some don't?

Unlike the previous version, I haven't had a single kernel panic since installing 2.3.1. It's just that 10-second lag (actually, 15-seconds) which is annoying... not that I don't waste 100x15seconds everyday on other useless issues

 

I was also getting kernel panics with 2.2.2. rather than trying out 2.3.1, I just switched to steermouse. as much as I love logitech's hardware, their software sucks!

 

On both Mac and Windows. I mistakenly installed SetPoint on my XP partition. When I uninstalled the program, it completely killed my ability to use either my MX610 or Apple Trackpad while in Safe Mode (which is what I use when uninstalling/upgrading my video card drivers). I'll have to see if there's a way to reinstall the Apple trackpad software. Screw Logitech to you-know-where.

Someone needs to port Steermouse to Windows. I can't imagine it would be that difficult.

 

Steermouse: we shouldn't be paying for a mouse driver, that just doesn't make sense. Logitech's drivers don't make sense either...
Wait a minute, it all makes sense now!

 

Well, I have the same problem as you in 2.3.1.

Just downloaded 2.4.0 - no clue if it fixes the problem or not yet, but it's worth a try anyway.

 

where did you find 2.4.0? I only see 2.3.1 on logitech's website.

 

Logitech Control Center 2.4.0 for Mac OS X. The file says lcc231.zip, but it's actually lcc240.zip.

 

This link doesn't work for me. THe logitech page comes up, but when I click on the download button, another page opens up and nothing happens. Is it the same with anyone else?

 

Hmmmm. It works for me in both Firefox and Safari. Let's try another method. Go to Logitech.com and click Support (at the top). Then click the Mac OS X Finder image. Does that work?

 

starting the process from the beginning doesn't work either. Must be speed download: i deleted the application just today. Perhaps if I restart my computer it'll work.

 

It's on VersionTracker (Description): lcc240.zip (Direct Download)
