Hi Steve,

(I'm adding in Cc the initial reporter and Lennart who also replied.)

Looking at linux mainline, I see commits adding support for new Logitech
devices (e.g. M560) in the following file: drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c

Checking the generated logitech modules, it seems hid-logitech-hidpp.ko
is not (yet) included in the input-modules udeb:

(sid-amd64-devel)kibi@wodi:~/hack/linux.git$ apt-file search logitech|grep ko$|grep -- -2-amd64|grep -v dbg
input-modules-4.1.0-2-amd64-di: /lib/modules/4.1.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.ko
input-modules-4.1.0-2-amd64-di: /lib/modules/4.1.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-logitech.ko
linux-image-4.1.0-2-amd64: /lib/modules/4.1.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.ko
linux-image-4.1.0-2-amd64: /lib/modules/4.1.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.ko
linux-image-4.1.0-2-amd64: /lib/modules/4.1.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-logitech.ko

I'm therefore reassigning this bug report to the linux kernel.

Looking at the history of the said file, it seems the hidpp module was
first introduced in v3.19, so some generic code in the logitech module
(or elsewhere) might have been working fine in Jessie, which would then
explain your successful 8.1 experience.

Mraw,
KiBi.
