[SOLVED] Hama M3070 Wireless Mouse not working!

Im trying to use an Hama M3070 Wireless Mouse on Arch. Is the first wireless mouse I'm trying to use in linux.

I plugged the mouse in and get no response.
LSUSB:

Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

DMESG:

usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: MLK M3070 wireless Laser Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0/input/input15
generic-usb 0003:04FC:05DA.0007: input,hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [MLK M3070 wireless Laser Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-2/input0

I have absoluttly no idea of wireless mouses in Linux so, is there somthing i must install? Load some module? Configure HAL?

--EDIT--
Just tested the Mouse on an Ubuntu Linux system. It works, so there is something I need. Anibody knows what?

Re: [SOLVED] Hama M3070 Wireless Mouse not working!

I just realized that every mouse conected via USB to the laptop isnt working.

And in /var/log/Xorg.0.log I found this:

(II) config/hal: Adding input device MLK M3070 wireless Laser Mouse
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.1.2
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event8"
(**) Option "SHMConfig" "True"
(**) Option "TapButton1" "1"
(**) Option "TapButton2" "3"
(**) Option "TapButton3" "2"
(--) MLK M3070 wireless Laser Mouse: no supported touchpad found
(EE) MLK M3070 wireless Laser Mouse Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "MLK M3070 wireless Laser Mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)

I think he is trying to load every mouse as an Synaptics touchpad.
¿How can I tell HAL to use a generic mouse driver? (I'm using HAL Hotpluggin)

Hello falke!

It seems the kernel recognise it, but without any next procedure What happens if this synaptic driver isn't allowed in the rc.conf, can it choose the right one in that case?

If this device works on ubuntu, you can see there which driver it uses, and take a search in arch too.

Hope this helps.

Re: [SOLVED] Hama M3070 Wireless Mouse not working!

The solution was simple: Just delete /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi and the mouse works.
I created that file because my touchpad wasn't working on an earlier kernel, but now it seams it dosn't needed anymore.
