Wanted to report that post #49/50 currently works for my R.A.T.7 in Arch Linux x86_64. I've created "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ 15-ratmouse.conf" and placed GA's code inside, just replacing
MatchProduct "R.A.T.7|R.A.T.9" with MatchUSBID "06a3:0cd7" (not to say that the MatchProduct doesn't work, but I'd already taken the time to find the usb ID) Bus 001 Device 003: ID 06a3:0cd7 Saitek PLC Linux Archy 3.5.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 26 09:14:51 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615892 Title: Madcatz Cyborg R.A.T. 7 focus issues Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xorg” package in Fedora: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg When using the Madcatz Cyborg R.A.T. 7 mouse, Xorg will lock the focus to a single window. The mouse continues to work but all events continue to go to the active window, even when the action is outside the active window. This affects all mice on the system until you unhook the R.A.T. 7. Sometimes clicking the mouse's "Mode" button while over another application will also fix the issue. I've seen this bug using TWM,Metacity and Compiz This also seems to be an issue on Fedora 13, but is fixed in Xorg git as of 2010.08.09. I've replicated the bug in 10.04 and 10.10 alpha 3.
