    [SOLVED]USB Mouse - Extrememly buggy behaviour

    Hello,

    I am running Kubuntu 11.10 on a Toshiba Satellite A660 notebook. I plugged in my Logitech M305 USB mouse and I'm getting some really bizarre bugs happening.

    I can't move between tabs in Chromium at all, when I click on a tab it just flashes for a second but stays on the original tab.

    I'm using Smooth Tasks as my task manager and I can't move between minimized programs at all, it just freaks out and then stabilizes on where ever I was before.

    Right-click menus are glitchy on the taskbar and window bars, when I click the menu flickers and disappears.

    When I unplug my mouse everything works fine. I would really like to use my mouse, but I have no idea where to even begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    This may be a bit simplistic but, how old are the batteries in your mouse. Whenever my mouse starts to act flackey, new batteries is the first thing I try.

      Brand new batteries and the mouse works fine with other computers.

        Are the logs /1/ telling anything interesting when you plug the mouse in ?



        Here:

        a) Mouse connected
        b) Command "dmesg" in the konsole is telling:

        Code:

          I ran that command and these seem to be the relevant lines. I just don't know what any of it means..

          Code:

            Okay I fixed it. First things is, I realized that the scroll wheel was stuck down and the mapping was messed up. Clicking on the scroll wheel and left-clicking were reversed. This is what I did to fix the mapping problem.

            I ran
            Code:
            $ xinput list
            ⎡ Virtual core pointer             id=2  [master pointer (3)]
            ⎜  ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer        id=4  [slave pointer (2)]
            ⎜  ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad        id=12  [slave pointer (2)]
            ⎜  ↳ Logitech USB Receiver           id=13  [slave pointer (2)]
            ⎜  ↳ Logitech USB Receiver           id=14  [slave pointer (2)]
            ⎣ Virtual core keyboard             id=3  [master keyboard (2)]
              ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard        id=5  [slave keyboard (3)]
              ↳ Power Button               id=6  [slave keyboard (3)]
              ↳ Video Bus                 id=7  [slave keyboard (3)]
              ↳ Video Bus                 id=8  [slave keyboard (3)]
              ↳ Power Button               id=9  [slave keyboard (3)]
              ↳ CNF9055                  id=10  [slave keyboard (3)]
              ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard       id=11  [slave keyboard (3)]
            to identify my mouse.

            So, I'm still not sure why there are two Logitech USB receivers (id=13 and id=14), but I ran
            Code:
            $ xinput get-button-map 13
            1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
            and
            Code:
            $ xinput get-button-map 14
            1 2 3 4 5 6 7
            and I liked the look of 14 better so I went with that.

            Since the first two numbers are left click and scroll wheel click respectively I then ran
            Code:
            $ xinput set-button-map 14 2 1 3 4 5 6 7
            to remap the buttons.

            My mouse now works like a charm.
