The Cyborg R.A.T. 9 comes with the ability to download the necessary drivers and/or software to work with the Windows and Mac operating systems, but there seems to be no official support for Linux as of now. This is a simple tutorial to have both horizontal and vertical scroll wheels working, the DPI adjustments working (at fixed amounts for now, sorry ;) ), and the Precision Aim Mode button registering as a button (not working properly yet) in Ubuntu 12.10. If you try and plug in the wireless receiver and use the mouse without adding this xorg.conf file, Ubuntu seems to freeze, even though you can still move the cursor. The title bar tabs and window buttons inside applications don’t show up and the launcher won’t scroll or launch apps properly. To fix this, you need to create a file called xorg.conf in /etc/X11 that used to exist in older versions of Ubuntu. Open up Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T by default, or search ‘Terminal’ in the Dash [big button in the top left]) and type (or copy and paste): sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf Press enter and then type your password when prompted. This will create the xorg.conf file in the /etc/X11 directory which we then need to edit. Type (or copy and paste): sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and press enter, This will open the text file xorg.conf in Text Editor. All we need to do now is add the code: Section “InputClass”  Identifier “Mouse Remap”  MatchProduct “Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.9”  MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”  Option “Buttons” “17”  Option “ButtonMapping” “1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 7 6 12 0 0 0 16 17”  Option “AutoReleaseButtons” “13 14 15”  Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5 6 7” EndSection and hit ‘save’. Close Text Editor and Restart your computer. Once you’re back into Ubuntu you should have a (mostly) working mouse! This tutorial will also work with the R.A.T. 7 by changing the ‘MatchProduct “Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.9”’ line with ”Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.7”.I’m not sure about getting the 7 Albino, 7 Contagion, 7 Infection, M.M.O. 7, R.A.T. 5 or 3 to work with this tutorial because I haven’t had a chance to use any of these but a simplified version of the xorg.conf file is a good place to start: Section “InputClass”  Identifier “Mouse Remap”  MatchProduct “Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.9”  MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”  Option “ButtonMapping” “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 0 0 0 0” EndSection Remembering to change the ‘MatchProduct’ line to something like: ‘MatchProduct “Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.7 Contagion”’ for example, and playing around with the ‘Option “ButtonMapping”’ string. You can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the name of your mouse. I can also write a tutorial for configuring the R.A.T. 9 in Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.6.8 if you found this tutorial helpful! Just ask above.
