Optica Mouse is not working well

Asked by hooffie

Hello,

I just installed Ubuntu but I have problems with the optical Logitech USB First Pilot mouse+. When I move the mouse the mousepointer is moving very fast and all kinds of windows are opening. When I use a simple USB Microsoft ball-mouse everything works fine. Does somebody know how i can solve this problem. I am a first time user of Linux, so please keep it simple.

Do you know what protocol the mouse is using?
Have a look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, there should be a section like this:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Configured Mouse"
 Driver "mouse"
 Option "CorePointer"
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
 Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
 Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I looked where you told me. The ssection in xorg.conf file is exactly the same as you shoowed me in your ansswer. My normal USB mouse works fine but not the Logitech MX310. My Linux PC is conneected to a KVM-switch where the mouse is connected.

Have you tried removing the KVM and seeing if it works? Its worth a shot to help narrow down the problem.

Can you help with this problem?
