Well, the source code got stripped by the list apparently. I managed to hack my way through libusb, freebsd's usb (as described in man usb) and the logitechapplet and now have a working program to get my logitech mx500 mouse in 800 dpi. It was sufficient to unwrap the calls freebsd needs to make to the usb bus from the libusb port and put this in the applet instead. I'm gonna clean up the code to make it actually search for logitech mice that support this 'feature' (why theses 800 dpi mice default to 400 dpi doesn't really make sense) and send the request. Somebody suggested linking it to usbd or something, but since I'm new to freebsd since 2 days, I wouldn't know where to do this. The usb man pages also suggest sending USB_REQUESTs through ioctl is potentially dangerous to the bus's integrity. But I guess comments on that will come in once I send the program.
