Restarted... that's when the gun just about came out of the cabinet. LOL
My machine started in the text shell... grrrr.
This came from the log file.
Code:

That repeated 5 times to make a total of 6.
What am I doing wrong?? I did copy and paste where I could as to reduce typo's. I would really like the full functionality of this great mouse and at the same time have X to run. I just want to much.:-k
Hmm, everything looks correct. Are you running regualr Xorg or Xgl?
Edit: If you're using two devices on one receiver, the post under this one may be helpful.

I'm not sure why there are two listed here, could that be the problem?

My xorg.conf is identical to the example.

Looks like the same warnings hubacap is getting... not sure what that wacom stuff is, since I don't have a tablet or anything like that. The Logitech G7 mouse and a Microsoft Keyboard are the only input devices I have.
You have both connecting through one reciever, correct? In that case, you'ld have to set up Xorg a bit differently, and you might have to drop the udev rule. I think some people have gotten it to work, but I haven't, so I can't really say how to have both working through one receiver. It might help to look through some comments in the old thread.

Re: HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide
I was able to get mine working properly using this guide, and mine is a KB/Mouse combo on one receiver. Specifically, I have the Logitech LX700.
My details from the input devices:
Code:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c512 Version=3007
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-1.2/input0

B: LED=1f
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c512 Version=3007
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"

S: Sysfs=/class/input/input4
H: Handlers=kbd mouse1 event4 ts1
B: EV=7
B: KEY=7fffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff 0 0 1878 d800d100 1e0000 0 0 0
B: REL=143
My 19-local.rules:
Code:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{../name}=="Logitech USB Receiver", NAME="input/event9"
My xorg.conf before trying what detyabozhye has suggested. It works whenever the mouse is plugged in, but not when the mouse is dosconnected.
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event9"
Option "Buttons" "10"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
My .xbindkeys is the same as his, with a couple more options added.
I hope some of this might be of help. Best of luck; I'm off to try this when the mouse is disconnected. BTW, I got the Ctrl-T working. Thanks.
Jay
EDIT: what you suggested worked, thanks. Now, how do I get the xbindkeys daemon to run automatically when I boot?

If you're running Gnome, go to "System > Preferences > Sessions" click on the "Startup Programs" tab, click "Add" and enter "xbindkeys".
In Xfce go to Xfce Menu -> Settings -> Autostarted Applications and click Add.
As for KDE, I'm not sure what the correct way is.
Re: HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide
I tried the simple approach, ignoring the udev stuff and just added the lines at the end of my mouse section in xorg.conf. It is as follows:
Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection
So now my MX1000 cruise up button instead goes back. And my the thumb button closest to me does too. What I'd really like is to have the cruis up to cruis up and the cruise down to cruise down. I'd also like the side buttons to go band and forth like they are supposed to and the wheel button I'd like to double click when I push it. Any way to do that? Or at least some of it without all this crazy, complicated stuff. could someone post what the button mapping numbers mean and then I could just configure it the way I want.

Note the Protocol, it's "ExplorerPS/2", it's meant for MS IntelliMouse Explorer. It will not work with all the Logitech buttons correctly no matter what you set the "ButtonMapping" to, I tried it. I don't mind anyone using that method, but you'll have to live with some buttons functioning incorrectly.
BTW, you will still need to set up xbindkeys, LMCtl, etc IF you want it to do 800+ CPI, Back/Forward in Nautilus or whatever. The "simple" method is only a replacement for the udev and evdev part, not for the rest of this guide. If I wrote this guide using the "simple method", it would still be two thirds the length.
Re: HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide
Lol well this ended for me early, when I first went to change xorg.conf (after the udev thing), the X server kinda booted then didnt. Im using nvidia drivers and indeed the little nvidia picture showed up as it was supposed to. However after that it went back to the loading screen (usually it then proceeds to login). Any reason why this happens?
Re: HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide
Don't know, I had that a lot when testing the current evdev. Can you tell me a bit about your mouse, setup, and give me the output of "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"? The current evdev is just a bit too picky. My old guide is a bit more relliable, but a bit hacky as well and longer in length.
Re: HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide
I have the Wacom thing too. I'm not sure why it's there, but you can safely comment out the device references if you also comment out "stylus", "cursor", and "eraser" in the "Server Layout" section of xorg.conf, near the bottom.
It doesn't help anything, but it at least supresses those annoying error messages that scroll off the relevant errors when X fails to start.
