On the other hand - the g7 started suddenly to work, maybe evdev will work with vmware now too? I'll try. No such luck, back to the old interface. -- jules -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Just so you know, using the mouse driver and auto protocol is not the way you want to run a USB mouse in Modular X. You really should try out the evdev driver for full functionality. With evdev, you don't have to specify any options either.

[gentoo-user] Trouble with Logitech G7 in Xorg 7.0
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 #IdentifierLogitech MX1000 #Drivermouse #Option Protocol auto #Option Device /dev/input/mouse0 #Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 #Option Emulate3Buttons no #EndSection Section InputDevice IdentifierLogitech MX1000 Driverevdev Option Protocol evdev Option Device /dev/input/mx1000 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Emulate3Buttons no EndSection Section InputDevice IdentifierLogitech G7 Driverevdev Option Protocol evdev Option Device /dev/input/g7 Option Buttons 8 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 7 8 Option Emulate3Buttons no EndSection #Section InputDevice #IdentifierLogitech G7 #Drivermouse #Option Protocol auto #Option Device /dev/input/mouse1 #Option Buttons 8 #Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 7 8 #Option Emulate3Buttons no #EndSection # this is the relevant part of ServerLayout InputDevice Logitech MX1000 CorePointer InputDevice Logitech G7 AlwaysCore Any ideas?

IIRC the G7 is wireless, is it not? If so, some things may be a little different, but I would try a more generic configuration. Try using /dev/input/mice, protocol auto, then play around with different drivers (start with mouse.) I have a G5 and it works out of the box with this configuration: Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol auto Option Buttons 8 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Good luck! -- Neil Isaac [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks, jules I have a wonderful MX700 (which needs replacing b/c the battery charger is past it's peak - 30 seconds of charge!). The MX700 is very similar. When I finally get to reboot into Linux (I dual boot Kubuntu/Windows on my Athlon 64) I'll send you my xorg.conf so you can see how mine works. I was just thinking of getting the G7 to replace my aging MX700, so I'm very interested to know how well the G7 does or doesn't work with Linux. I'll go and reboot now.
