Hello, *Sometimes* when X starts it does detect the mouse as seen in the log but when I move it nothing happens on screen, and doing a cat on the /dev/input/eventX does not produce anything either when moving the mouse. To get the mouse to work, most of the time I have to unplug the USB adapter and replug it, although sometimes I need to switch it with the keyboard USB adapter. I am not sure why and how as it does not always happen. I know of at least one other person with similar symptoms. As for my configuration, I am running Arch Linux with a 3.4 Linux kernel, xorg-server 1.12.2, evdev 2.7.0. My mouse is a Logitech performance MX with a USB wireless unifying receiver. My keyboard is a diNovo keyboard with a USB bluetooth receiver. Xorg is auto-started by kdm which is started by systemd. Here is my Xorg log: http://pastebin.com/pWnHwF2d In this one I cold started the computer, then got no mouse so I unplugged / replugged the receiver but nothing so then I switched they keyboard and mouse receivers and then it worked. Everything was working fine before shutting down the computer though. Thank you, John

Created attachment 74421 [details] As requested by Nestor here is a dmesg file when the issue happened This is dmesg since system start to replugging the mouse receiver and getting it back to work.
It seems that there may be a lack of communication. There are LOTS of these cases. Please see http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=87273303
Created attachment 77091 [details] logitech fix
Nestor Lopez Casado from Logitech has already a fix for this issue. Unfortunately it caused some side problems (latency after not using the mouse for a long time) and was looking to clean up his changeset before sending it upstream. I have attached the patch he sent me to the bug. I do not have an ETA unfortunately.
I checked the patch (Comment #4) and it didn't work for me.
Two big points about my situation: 1) I have both a mouse and keyboard that uses the same (unifying) receiver. This seems to be different from at least some of the above comments. 2) The above attachment is a .bin file. These can be universal, but I'm not sure if this is for Windows, Linux, or both. Can someone advise me? 3) Is the above attachment for the "Unifying" receiver, or one-on-one receivers, or??? Thanks!
Also, just to make it clear, I have problems with both Windows pro 7, and Ubuntu 12.04. I use both operating systems on the same computer. Problems can be with the mouse and/or the keyboard. It makes a BIG difference as to which USB port I use. It seems that the farther I get from the motherboard, the better it works. The best result (almost ok) is the USB type 2.0 port on a card reader. My system has up to type 3.0 ports, on which it does NOT work at all well.
Having this problem in Ubuntu 12.04 with upstream kernel 3.5.0-8-generic. Unloading and reloading the hid_logitech_dj module works, but once in a rare while the receiver will pick up the mouse and ignore the keyboard. The fastest and surest way I've found to get both mouse and keyboard working is to unplug and replug the usb receiver repeatedly until i see both devices detected by watching kern.log in gnome-system-log. I do hope there will be a patch before the contacts in my usb port wear thin.
I've fixed one nasty bug in hid_logitech_dj for 3.6. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/20/378 You may be hitting that, hard to guess as its a memory scribble type bug. Once 3.6 comes out if you can test it that will be useful.
I am having the same problem too. Some informations: System: Ubuntu precise 12.04.1 LTS Kernel: 3.2.0-30.48 (first occurrence)
(..continued, sorry for the hasty commit above) Architecture:amd64 System: Ubuntu precise 12.04.1 LTS Kernel in use: 3.6.0-999-generic #201209240405 Mainline tree from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline Some relevant information Xorg version is 1:7.6+12ubuntu1 Xorg log: http://pastebin.com/RYfLtTVG Modules: usbhid,hid,usb_storage Logitech wired mouse model is M-Bj69 (quite old). The mouse is not responsive at boot from a cold start. Keyboard USB Logitech K120 works everytime. Problem can be reproduced every cold start with 3.6.0-999.201209240405 and 3.2.0-30.48. Un/Plugging again the mouse works for me and mouse works fine from then on. I don't remember any occurrence of this with ubuntu stock 3.2.0-27.43, it started for me upgrading from ubuntu stock 3.2.0-27.43 to 3.2.0-30.48. Mouse works fine with other hardware and on a different i386 system with ubuntu stock 3.0.0 Hope this help to narrow down the issue, if you need further information please feel free to ask.
I can confirm Comment #12. My mouse didn't start from boot (mainline 3.6 2012-09-30), but start work after unplug/plug.
Was this really 3.6, or 3.6-rcX? This should be fixed by commit 596264082f10dd4a567c43d4526b2f54ac5520bc Author: Nestor Lopez Casado <nlopezcasad@logitech.com> Date: Fri Sep 21 12:21:34 2012 +0200 HID: Fix logitech-dj: missing Unifying device issue which went into 3.6-rc7.

It worked for me. Thanks!
kernels 3.2 & latest 3.7 are also affected
Sounds good to me except how do I implement this in Ubuntu 12.04 ? Thanks!
Regression in 3.10. Mouse don't work at all. In 3.9 works.
