[CLOSED]Wireless Mouse - Logitech M185

Hi,

I have a spare mouse and looked to see if it would work with Linux.
I have found varying degrees of success & failure with the Logitech M185

I did find one thread where there had been success,
However they added something to a specific config file:
Code:
Section "InputClass"
    # Logitech VX Nano, 800 DPI
    Identifier      "USB wireless receiver for mouse"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "AccelerationProfile"    "-1"
    Option "ConstantDeceleration"   "3.1"
    Option "Resolution"             "800"
    Option "SampleRate"             "500"

    # From lsusb
    MatchUSBID "046d:c526"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection


Into:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

But that does not exist on my setup.?
Any ideas welcome.

Thanks... Dave

xorg.conf is no longer required on newer GNU/Linux systems but I understand from somewhere else on the 'net that you can create your own:

Hi Swarfendor437,

Many Thanks...
But alas I have a dead mouse :( , maybe that's why it was spare :)
Thought I would test it on my Windows PC, no light on mouse, even with new battery.
But thanks for the link, book marked for the future.

Cheers... Dave
