Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

Since upgrading to hardy, my mx revolution mouse no longer works correctly. If i move the mouse, the pointer doesnt move, then a few seconds later jumps in the direction i moved the mouse. I can plug in an older usb optical mouse and that works fine. I used to use this in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX Revolution"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Phys" "usb-*/input0"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection

However I have completely reset my xorg.conf using dpkg-reconfigure -phigh and attached that to the bug report. The only customisation of this xorg.conf file has been for dual screening, and setting the keyboard to gb.

Sorry, just to clarify, the mouse works neither with my old config, or a completely new xorg.conf file. I don't know what other information would be helpful, so let me know anything that can help and i'll add that.

I booted up a gutsy live cd just to check if it still worked there, and it didnt for some reason. Just unplugging and plugging back in the usb reciever actually makes it work again. Closing off for as invalid for now, if it happens again i'll try to investigate some more.
