[gentoo-user] Trouble with Logitech G7 in Xorg 7.0

[Jules Colding <colding@omesc.com>]

Hi,

I've just got myself a new G7 to replace my older MX1000. The problem is
that I can't get the G7 to work at all. Xorg does seem to recognize the
G7 but I can't get any cursor movement at all. I've tried the "evdev"
and "mouse" protocols, but to no avail. 

I am currently running with both mice connected in the hope that the G7
suddenly will work...

I've create 010_local.rules as the Advanced Mouse HOWTO explained and
otherwise followed the HOWTO to the letter.

This is my xorg.conf section:

############### xorg.conf ###############
#Section "InputDevice"
#    Identifier                "Logitech MX1000"
#    Driver                    "mouse"
#    Option "Protocol"         "auto"
#    Option "Device"           "/dev/input/mouse0"
#    Option "ZAxisMapping"     "4 5"
#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"  "no"
#EndSection

    Option "Device"           "/dev/input/mx1000"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"     "4 5"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"  "no"
EndSection

    Option "Buttons"          "8"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"     "4 5 7 8"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"  "no"
EndSection
