I was in the same boat! Just got a nice Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel for xmas. Thought I'd use the USB interface, and it took me ages to get it all running. In the end this link got it working in console mode for me http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/usbmice64.html Then for the X configuration I worked it out as Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Buttons" "6" Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6" EndSection Then to finish things off I added the following to my .xinitrc file imwheel & xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 6 3 5 4" You might need to play around with the xmodmap to get your wheel working perfectly.

Yep, I have the same problem. I just got myself this great looking blue Logitech MouseMan Wheel (M/N M-BD53) and I cannot get it to work as a USB mouse with 7.0. It works fine as a PS/2 mouse though.

I manually loaded usbcore, usb-uhci and usbmouse. Dmesg shows the following:

usb.c: USB new device connect, assigned device number 2 input0: Logitech USB Mouse on usb1:2.0

Now the question is how do I set it up with X11?

SAX2 set XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "USB WHEEL MOUSE" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Vendor" "LOGITECH" EndSection

But /dev/mouse still points to /dev/psaux and none of the /dev/usdmouseX devices seems to do the job.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

I have a Logitech Wheel Optical Usb mouse and a Epson 580 usb printer.. i'd like to make at least the mouse work... Do u know how to solve this problem? Do i have to download a different kernel or there is something i can do with this kernel (2.2.16)? -- Avi Schwartz Get a Life avi@CFFtechnologies.com Get Linux!
