Really Weird Mouse Problem (Logitech MX 700)

[tmaetzold]

I just got the new NVIDIA drivers installed in Red Hat 8.0 (God, was that a headache), but when I started up Gnome, my mouse wouldn't move; it just stayed in the upper-right corner when I tried to move it. When I unplug and replug the mouse it works fine (except the wheel and other buttons don't work, but that's beside the point). It also does this at startup if I plug in a different mouse. I'm wondering where I can get some drivers for linux for the MX 700 or if there is any other way to fix this problem.

Here is what I have in my XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
# If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then
# this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you
# also use USB mice at the same time.
Identifier "DevInputMice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Thanks again.

Is the Logitech MS 700 a USB or PS/2 mouse? It's kinda hard to tell from the InputDevice sections you posted.

If PS/2, change

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

to

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
