If you're talking about the Logitech Optical Mouse, I have several and
with one exception found them easy to set up and get working.
My XF86Config-4 has
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech Optical Mouse M-BJ58"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/misc/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
However, I did have one machine with an el-cheapo athlon motherboard
that would freak out if the optical mouse was plugged into it, usb or
ps/2. What was really strange is that this problem occurred in linux
and Win2k, and not with other mice! Finally I got pawned that system
board off to someone who uses an intellimouse (and windows) instead.
