Hi all,
this is my very first post on this forum, so I hope for soft-gloved treatment when bugging you with a maybe trivial mouse problem
I am using archlinux64 on my PC and the 32bit version on my laptop for some weeks now.
While the laptop installation works like a charm, I have an annoying problem with my PC.
I am using a Logitech MX1000 mouse and a Logitech "diNovo" keyboard. Both connected via the same wireless USB-receiver.
The first (already solved) problem showed up after installing "evdev" (to enable the additional mouse keys).
After that, the mouse was only working, when I switched on the USB-HD, that is attached to my PC - and the keyboard was doing strange things, like opening several screenshot windows when pressing arrow up.... When starting while the HD was running, all went well.
Fortunately I was able to get rid of that problem, but during the trouble shooting I was pressing the reset button on the receiver-stick accidently.
Since then the mouse pointer is only able to move up or down - means, the movement has no x-component.
Of course I tried several times to press the reset/channel button again, but it does not show any effect.
On Windows and also other Linux live CDs everything works as it should.
... any ideas anyone ? ...
Thanks in advance

Hi 42, welcome to the AL boards!
Hm, strange issues. I don't know a lot about wireless USB-receivers, but it might help if you also post your xorg.conf (or at least the "important" parts of it).
Cheers Sigi

Thanks Sigi the for quick reply and the offer to have a look into it!
Indeed this is a strange behaviour.
I already searched the internet for this, but did not find a solution.
As requested I post my xorg.conf below.

Since the mouse was already working OK (before I got rid of the "mouse only with USB-HD bug") - and is working flawless with other OSs - and also with different linux live CDs, I wonder how I can run something like a autodetection for the mouse ...?
Or is there a configuration entry for x / y movement somewhere?
Also strange, that I am able to move the mouse pointer up and down and have the buttons functional.
Since I already spent a lot of time in the configuration of my system I'd be happy if I could avoid deleting, reinstalling and configurating everything again.

Just because it ran well with other OS's means jack here. Arch is using the newest xorg-server, and since two updates ago I have had a video bug myself. U might wanna try downgrading to an older xorg-server, it may be helpful in pinpointing.
The last two xorg-server updates in my opinion a regression from earlier versions.

... wanted to do a full distribution update with "pacman -Syu" some hours ago.
After several error messages in connection with xorg - I updated some of the packages one by one.
Result is ... X seems to be completely messed now and I can't start into X anymore.
Maybe repairable, maybe not.
Anyway - after spending a lot of hours with configurating, customizing, adjusting and so on I'm thinking about to delete everything and go back to Sidux, PCLinuxOS - or simply wait for the next Arch release. Don't get me wrong, Arch is (one of) the very best Linux flavour(s) I tried - and it still ranks #1 in my favourites (when it is working ) for good reasons. But I was trying to get it running without hickups since several weeks now and I lost a bit of enthusiasm.
Thanks Sigi, thanks jacko for trying to help.
I'll be back for sure.

I hate to see you leaving (for now). I'd really like to help you with your upgrade issues if you still have a little enthusiasm left..!
