Logitech MX Duo -- Mouse Problems in X


I recently purchased a wireless keyboard/mouse combo from logitech: the MX Duo. This setup has a single reciever/transmitter that can either be used as a single USB device or as two PS/2 devices (1 for keyoard, 1 for mouse). This setup works flawlessy in WinXP (in either usb or ps/2 mode) but not in Linux. The keyboard works great but the mouse doesn't. I can control it slightly at first but after 1 - 2 seconds the motion becomes erratic. It's clear that it is receiving signals from the mouse because when I move it or press the buttons X reacts, just not the way it is supposed to. I've tried both usb and ps/2 modes. My X-windows is x.org and the xorg.conf section relavent to the mouse is

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

I've also tried it with the "/dev/psaux" and "/device/input/mice" devices, with "Emulate3Buttons" off and with other protocols ("IMPS/2", "ExplorerPS/2", "MouseManPlusPS/2"). All give the same results. Can anyone help?

ALSO: The mouse appears to be a regular Logitech MX 700, set up to use the same transmitter/receiver as the keyboard.

forgot to mention...

I forgot to mention that I have read the post in the HCL regarding this device: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/sh...p?product=1084 . Unfortunately, no X config file is shown and thus is no help with my mouse problem.
