evedev & mx700

I have been running my Logitech mx700 no problem with the evdev driver, and buttons worked fine for me (mouse wheel, forward, backward). After a recent update, however, restarting X failed for me, with a "PreInit returned NULL for mouse0" or somesuch. After a quick look around the net, I updated my xorg.conf to use the "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver" instead of naming a "Device" like "/dev/input/event0"; this didn't seem to help until I also took out the "CorePointer" line in my xorg.conf for that device. Now, I'm not running any other mice or anything, so I'm a little mystified as to why I would have to do that in the first place. But, my real problem is that this caused my buttons to behave differently from before; the mouse wheel works, but the back/forward buttons don't. I've never had to resort to xbindkeys and all that to fix these issues in the past; is there an obvious xorg.conf setting I'm overlooking here? I'm not at my home box atm, so I can't post my current xorg.conf, but I can post that later if it might help.

    Driver          "evdev"
    Option         "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
EndSection
