Wireless mouse not working

Asked by Sayantan Auddy

A wireless mouse of the below given make and model is not functioning in ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

Manufacturer - Trust, Model - Primo Wireless mouse, Item number - 20322
How is your mouse connected to your PC: USB wireless
What mechanism does your mouse use: optical
How many physical buttons and scrollwheels does you mouse have: left-click, right-click, clickable scroll-wheel and a button to set the DPI

When I connect the wireless receiver of the mouse and run lsusb, I can see the following:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:0129 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129 Card Reader Controller

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1d57:fa60 Xenta
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The file /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids contains the following information for this manufacturer (and this section is the same in the latest usb.ids file). I can see that device id fa60 is missing.
