I read you article, Logitech Devices on Ubuntu Linux (and others), and downloaded hipoint1-O.bin for my lx8 mouse.

I am using Mint 10 32 bit Standard.

In following the directions, at the point were they say to, “# Double
click on the file and select “Run In Terminal”. Type “Y” then
hit “Enter”. I became confused because the option to, Run In
Terminal, was not available. I did find in my downloads folder Menu..
File_Open in terminal.. and chose this while the file was selected and
got a Terminal with the following:

…~/Downloads $

But at this point I’m lost.

Would you have any answers to how I go about this in Mint 10? I would
appreciate any help.

I’m not personally familiar with Mint, but the following instructions should work on any distro.

You need to do two things: 1) make the file executable and then 2) run the file in the terminal.

You’re halfway there already: simply execute these two commands in that terminal you opened:

attrib +x file
This gives the file the ‘executable’ attribute

./file
This runs the file (dot-slash required because file is in the current directory which is not in the PATH environment variable)

Of course, substitute the file name (‘hipoint1-O.bin’) for ‘file’ in both of the above examples.

Good luck.

And that stuff you hear about me? It's all true
