Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse

[ndogg]

Just use the IMPS/2 protocol in the XF86Config file. It may jump around a lot for a few times, but all you have to do is keep restarting X until it stops jumping. The other thing you could do is to lower the resolution (something like 300 or 200 should work). This mouse is extremely precise and the IMPS/2 may not be able to handle it initially.

Here is my set up in the Pointer section:

Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"

# Adds buttons 4 and 5 for scrolling

Buttons 5

# ZAxisMapping enables scroll wheels on mice that have it

ZAxisMapping 4 5

EndSection


The Buttons line really isn't needed, but...

If you want to change the resolution, add the following into the Pointer section(you can change 300 if you wish), but realize that you will lose precision doing this, but the mouse should work right off the bat.

Resolution "300"

I just bought one of those and was having some problems getting it configured properly.

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to give it a try.

That works for the new Optical mice, older ball technology Logitech mice would use the mouseman protocol.
