Mouse and keyboard setup

Well, I'm not a newbie but this is probably something I'm doing wrong.
I'm using gnome3. I actually had the mouse part of this issue under gnome2 from around the beginning of 2011.
I use a wireless keyboard and mouse combo (Logitech S520). I use a uk keyboard layout.

Q: How do I fix the 10-evdev.conf file to get a uk layout? It seems to be defaulting to US layout.

Mouse issues:
The sensitivity seems slow, I've amended the settings using the gnome 3 gui settings but this made no difference. It feels like the batteries are dying but they're not. The receiver is not that far from the mouse and it is not being blocked by anything.
The mouse has odd double click behaviour, for example trying to double click a video file can sometimes take several attempts before it actually launches. Sometimes, when selecting something such as a Firefox tab, even though I have clicked and released, it behaves in a 'drag and drop' fashion

Pastebin seems to have died so here are my config files:

10-evdev.conf(I commented out some stuff I wouldn't use):

#
# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below
# matches everything but joysticks.

Re: Mouse and keyboard setup

Hi
For the keyboard layout, did you try and change Gnome's settings?
Menu System Settings / Region and Language / Layouts


I'm French and French people can't speak English, so please please please excuse the terrible English!

Re: Mouse and keyboard setup

The layout in there is English (UK). The language is set to English (US).

Re: Mouse and keyboard setup

Ok, keyboard issue kinda fixed. The layout seems right but on login I get error activating xkb configuration.
FYI I commented out the lines about Option Name and Option XKB Variant
