    Hi Vadi,

    I was recently given a Logitech G5, I had to switch to the evdev driver to get all of the buttons working, and when I did, the menus in etqw became unusable - pointer kept "resetting" itself to the lower right of the screen. It almost seemed like the "right" and "down" movements of the mouse were 10x more sensitive than "up" and "left".

    I found out what was affecting me was this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s....2/+bug/189958
    which is probably why everyone's asking if you're using evdev.

    It doesn't sound like you're affected (since you've got "mouse" and no "evdev" in xorg.conf), but if you post a pastebin link to your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it might show something useful

    btw the workaround (disabling dga) in that bug link worked for me.

        It is the driver statement, if you want to use evdev then you may not use mouse but evdev.
        Um... I don't know what do I want to use. I want to use something that works.
        THERE, look carefully, people. That's exactly what he needs, something that WORKS.

        Sorry, I couldn't resist to highlight this exceptional example of the simplest and most important thing one would need from a computer (or anything else). You've got all my sympathy, Vadi. Unfortunately, I can't help you with your problem, but I think these guys will point you to the right tracks.

          grantek, I tried the dga workaround, both the export and xorg.conf, but it does not help in quake wars (which is what I want to get working). It did help in the cube 2 game though.

            For me it was to use this in the mouse section.

            Section "InputDevice"
            Driver "mouse"
            Identifier "Mouse[1]"
            Option "Buttons" "12"
            Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
            Option "Name" "Logitech USB Gaming Mouse"
            Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
            Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
            Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
            EndSection

              That didn't work for me; it kicked me into the low-res mode.
