Hello, I’m having issues installing the roccat-tools for a brand new Roccat ISKU FX on OpenSUSE 12.2 linux. Downloaded everything, latest vs. from sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/roccat/files/ . The drivers are installed but I can’t build the tools.
rpmbuild -ta --clean roccat-tools-0.15.0.tar.bz2 error: Failed build dependencies: libusb1-devel is needed by roccat-0.15.0-1.x86_64 dbus-glib is needed by roccat-0.15.0-1.x86_64 dbus-glib-devel is needed by roccat-0.15.0-1.x86_64 libgudev1-devel is needed by roccat-0.15.0-1.x86_64
or
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=\"/usr\" .. -- Installing libraries in /usr/lib64 -- Installing udev rules in /lib/udev/rules.d -- Compiler supports attribute pack -- checking for module \'unique-1.0\' -- package \'unique-1.0\' not found CMake Error at cmake_modules/FindUNIQUE.cmake:28 (MESSAGE): Could not find UNIQUE Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:31 (FIND_PACKAGE) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Problem is I guess have them installed but called… somehow different, for example libusb1-devel is by any chance libusb-1_0-devel? Any thoughts? Isn’t there a repository with rpms or something anywhere for my distro?

Problem solved! Great support from Roccat for linux - they answered in like 5minutes and told me to get in touch with Stefan Achatz, the developer on sourceforge, who was also very prompt and helped me later with my noob mistakes. He told me that Isku FX wasn’t supported but in a few days will be. And guess what - the second day we had a new version of the driver and tools, also prepped for OpenSUSE. I remember tried that once with Logitech, want to know how that one went?
lol
So I did a good choice, if you need quality/gaming gear in Linux, Roccat it is. Will buy a Kone XTD soon 
Got also Roccat Kone XTD - good mouse, also working perfectly in openSUSE, even the pad analysis wich helped me get rid of some problems with a black&textile&sillica mouse pad. Weird problem is with the keyboard can’t select anything in GRUB, it’s like is not there, just goes over the selection screen and loads the OS. Heard about problems with USB devices before but never encountered one. USB Legacy mode is enabled in BIOS, and I can navigate and use BIOS properly. Any thoughts?
My Apple (>:() keyboard shows this behaviour when connected through a USB hub. When connected directly to a rear USB port of the machine all is fine.
I upgraded openSUSE to 12.3; the GRUB glitch is miracously gone
But, now I don’t have the drivers (modules) anymore… kind of normal after a kernel upgrade. So can anyone help me this time as it’s not specifically related to Roccat, but more like a general procedure.
So:
-downloaded Download kmod-roccat-0.8.1.tar.bz2 (94.5 kB)
-extracted, cd-ed in the folder 2.6.39_and_up as my kernel is 3.7;
-make
-make modules_install
-modprobe roccat
-lsmod lists only roccat - but I remember having the devices explicitly there with some more specific names…
-so the tools are not working, announcing I have no keyboard… 'course I have 
That’s some FUS! You have to disconnect and connect the devices. It doesn’t work if you just reboot!
