I've got the non-cordless version (I assume the "receiver" connects to a
PS/2 port, so from that end, there's nothing unique about it). Actually,
the optical part shouldn't make much difference either. The good news
is, it uses a regular Logitech protocol... Here's the relevant part of
my XF86Config file:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "MouseMan+"
  Driver    "mouse"
  Option    "CorePointer"
  Option    "Protocol"    "ImPS/2"
# Option    "Protocol"    "MouseManPlusPS/2"
  Option    "Device"    "/dev/psaux"
  Option    "ZAxisMapping"    "4 5"
EndSection

I had no luck with using the scrolling wheel in apps when I used the
"MouseManPlusPS/2" protocol.
