I plug the USB receiver in, but I get no control over the pointer. Please help me to get this mouse to work in Fedora.

Just searched around the internet about it; Have you tried plugging it in before you boot your computer?

Ill try this once I replace the battery.

Honestly though, I got a laugh out of your reply, because I only saw the middle part "Have you tried plugging it in," which reminded me of Roy from the IT-crowd.

LOL I know you shouldn't be that dumb, but when I was searching around, I saw that some users were able to get it to work when they plugged the device in before they booted their computer.

Plugging the mouse in before turning the laptop on did not work. Is there any output I could provide to help fix this issue?

All done.

I had to push the "connect" button on the usb part and the mouse.

It paired and came up... I've got to say though, I have *never* *ever* pressed those "connect" buttons before this. But hey, it works.
