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.
