Recently I got a Logitech Professional Presenter R800. (the one with the green laser pointer)
I tested it under Linux Fedora 16, and it works like a charm!
The device also works nicely under LibreOffice Impress 3.4 ( 1:3.4.3.2-11.fc16 in my case ).
The USB device is detected as a keyboard/mouse device: ( /var/log/messages )

By “works like a charm”, do you mean all the keys work, including the “launch slide show” and “black screen” one? For me, on Ubuntu 14.04 and the latest LibreOffice, those two do not work.
Hi,
Triggered by your message, I retested the Logitech Presenter R800 under Fedora 20 with libreoffice-impress-4.2.5.2-10.fc20.x86_64
The previous/next buttons work nicely, but the “launch slide show”/”blank screen” buttons don’t.
If I remember correctly the have worked before, so maybe something broke since Fedora 16.
kind regards,
Egon
