configure magic mouse 2 scrolling

[rsherry]

I am pretty new to debian and I am trying to get my magic mouse 2 gestures (mainly just scrolling) to work.

Someone developed a script for ubuntu to get the magic mouse 2 gestures to work:

https://github.com/biggreenogre/mm2

I've tried to figure out what needs to be changed in order to do what's needed but I'm at a loss. Can anyone with more experience chime in and explain what needs to be changed.

Here's the output in the terminal after running the script:

Code: Select all

from the git repo readme:

These tools are intended for use by developers familiar with kernel module development and tinkerers who wish to experiment with the Linux hid_magicmouse kernel module on Ubuntu Trusty. If you are comfortable writing BASH scripts and are familiar with the process for compiling and debugging custom kernels and modules, please read on. Otherwise, STOP HERE, STOP NOW.

The OP sure is much braver the I am, running a random script, without understanding what it does, and how it works,
and then :

Someone developed a script for ubuntu

Are you using Debian ? If you are then why ? "a script for ubuntu",...

rsherry :Here's the output in the terminal after running the script

To late now, they all ready ran the script,...
@ OP, kind of kidding here, based on the output, it does not look like
the script was able to do anything.

But any way, for future reference please read:
