Hmm. Just discovered something quite interesting.
I decided to try a different mouse, so I've swiped the missus' for a
while. It's also a Logitech, but an older model (and, incidentally,
rather better made than my more expensive Revolution MX <_<).
And it works without any bother. Perfectly happy switching to Windows and
FreeBSD and back again, and I haven't been able to get it to not work yet.
I guess the possibilities are:
1. My newer, problematic mouse (or rather its receiver) is a high-speed
device, whilst the missus' old mouse has a low-speed one. This
"shouldn't" cause conflicts since it works with Windows and Linux... but
it does.
2. I used Uber Tools on Windows to reconfigure the behaviour of the mouse
buttons and scroll wheel, which may be doing something undesirable. I'll
fiddle about with it and see if I can repeat the not-workingness with her
mouse, and just not use it if it's the culprit.
3. Maybe the Revolution MX just sucks in some random way that I don't
know, and perhaps has some basic problem with adhering to the USB
protocol.
I'll write more when I find something conclusive. Or even inconclusive,
for that matter. :)
