Code:

KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{../name}=="Logitech Bluetooth Mouse", NAME="input/event9"

edit: um, yeah, the MX900 is a dual mode (HID or HCI) bluetooth mouse. I have it running in HCI mode, since I need true bt capability of the mouse cradle to sync my mobile (cellular for transatlants). again, it's not acute, it's just my hang to get it working as originally advised...

thanks for your listening, it's refreshing to know you're not alone =)

side note (why I'm here in ubuntuworld):
lol, it is actually a logitech product, where neither the original OS (WinXP) nor the actual driver and utils kept their promise - it all only worked when logged in as admin. log on as restricted borked the mouse, plus Win would start a bt stack for EVERY user logged in at the time... what do these people get paid for?!?!

Code:

Ok I do know that in rules I tell it event 4, and in xorg I am looking at event 9. The problem is that when If I change it so they they are both either event 9 or event 4 then X fails to load. I have tried a bazillion combinations, and I dunno why in edgy this fails, but in dapper it worked perfectly.

Well, the first thing that I noticed is this:

Code:

	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"true"

You should have only one or the other, not both for one device AFAIK. Try it with only Option "CorePointer". If that doesn't work, try using "Logitech USB Receiver" in the udev rule again.

Ok I do know that in rules I tell it event 4, and in xorg I am looking at event 9. The problem is that when If I change it so they they are both either event 9 or event 4 then X fails to load. I have tried a bazillion combinations, and I dunno why in edgy this fails, but in dapper it worked perfectly.

OK, I think your problem is that you have two devices that register as "Logitech USB Reciever", the reciever works for both keyboard and mouse. You're going to have to get udev or xorg.conf to get only the mouse part. The problem is that I don't remember how to do that. It should be somewhere in this thread though. BTW, when changing the udev rule, run sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart.

ok I have tried, but I am at the same point, my up cruise button shows up as button 4 and button 8, button 8 being one of my side buttons. I am frazzled, grated I am in edgy, so I will just sit patiently and try to figure this, out, btw your guide worked perfectly in dapper. I am starting to wonder maybe the evdev driver in edgy maybe not working correctly. who knows......oh well.

Dunno, Edgy got it right with this on first try for me:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"evdev"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Name"	"Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
EndSection

Nope, no udev.
