Module is named "hid-logitech" instead of "hid-logitech-new" on Ubuntu

Also, it doesn't install anything under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra as the README says.

And oh, sorry, Ubuntu 18.04 with latest upgrades, kernel-headers and all the right stuff. If you need any further details just ask.

There are two installation methods. The module installs in the extra directory when using the manual install and it's called hid-logitech-new.

When using DKMS to manage the module, it gets installed as hid-logitech to make it easier to use. You can choose between the in-kernel and new-lg4ff module using DMKS install/uninstall commands. Everything is taken care of by DKMS.

I think it's correctly explained in the README but it may require a second read to understand the sparse information.
