Logitech g300 mouse jumping around

Can you give the output of:

lsmod; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

I am on Kubuntu at this time of the day and it was a fight to get this with only the g300 plugged in. I tried getting it from the 11.04 boot/install cd I had handy but the mouse didn't want to cooperate much on that either. Also I added the mouse information below.

Logitech hate Linux and flat refuse to support the OS. I suggest against buying these devices.

May help:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/63283/logitech-g300-not-working-on-ubuntu

I have the same problem, and also saw that link on askubuntu.com. Lomoco doesnt recognize the G300 either. Posted on their mailing list already, but I guess they're not that active.

I really don't know where to start fixing this... Anything else I can do or check besides mailing on Lomoco list?

Same problem here... :/

I did find the cause of the problem, and a temporary solution:
