If that doesn't work then we will need to alter a udev configuration file.

Damn... forgot 'plugdev' exists in Debian, not anywhere else.

Try creating the file "99-evdev.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ with this
Code: Select all
KERNEL="mouse*", BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}=="USB Receiver", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Logitech", MODE="0664", GROUP="users", OWNER="root", NAME="input/mouse2"


You will need to restart udev for this to come into effect. Note that I am not sure if it will work. Do you use the "evdev" driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If you do, change the "NAME" item to reflect the device entry in xorg.conf ( less "/dev/" )
( Example /dev/input/mouse1 -> input/mouse1 )

Hello,

unfortunately the udev.rules is not working. Since in my xorg.conf is "evdev" not mentioned at all I guess that I do not use it :-)

Here is the section for my mouse from the xorg.conf. The MX310 is the only Model which works with my MX1000, Strange it is a cordless mouse and the cradle is connected via USB but the conf file is generted with PS2. How every it works.

Code: Select all
Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "Buttons" "5"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  Option       "Name" "MX310"
  Option       "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Logitech"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection


So when I log in as root I can see the batterie status but I can not change the resolution from 400 to 800 cpi...

Could you try with this: ( file is /etc/udev/rules.d/99-logitech.rules )
Code: Select all
KERNEL="mouse*", BUS="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Logitech", MODE="0664", GROUP="users", OWNER="root", NAME="input/mice"


Make sure to restart the udev service after making this change ( "service udev restart" as root )

for the further tip, I have the udev.rules and also the default udevrules changed but both changes do not dix the problem.

Revert the changes you made to UDev, then issue the command "lsusb"

This should give output similar to this
Code: Select all
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 This is an example USB device

now run this command replacing the text with numbers from above, as root:
Code: Select all
chmod 777 /dev/bus/usb//

Which for the above would be: chmod 777 /dev/bus/usb/007/001

Note: you need to choose the lsusb entry for your mouse.
Then try again. It *should* work.

I would recommend asking on the openSUSE forums for further information on how to fix your issue. This is a bug in openSUSE.
