The cursor does not move. Also the mouse was working in 11.10 and is working in Windows NT 5.1.2600.

Here's the clean workaround for this problem. A part of the solution has already been given.



Explanation: instead of having to type in modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj
&& modprobe hid_logitech_dj
each time you startup linux we will make a very simple startup script that implements these two commands. To make sure it starts up at boot we put it in the init.d folder.



To make sure everybody can follow it I will tell step by step what to do.




  1. Make a file named:



    logitech-unifying.sh

  2. Open that file (by clicking on it) and add these lines:



    #!/bin/bash

    modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj

    modprobe hid_logitech_dj

  3. Open the terminal and make sure you navigate to the folder where 'logitech-unifying.sh' is located. Then type this command:



    sudo mv -i logitech-unifying.sh /etc/init.d

  4. Enter your password


  5. Close the terminal


  6. Reboot




When you startup linux, your logitech unifying device should be working.
