ok sorry if i confused anyone all im trying to say is my ms optical mouse isnt working on ubuntu and its seems to be ubuntu not the pc or mouse. if anyone can help plz im pulling my hair out. already 3/4 the way bald.

Don't know what X config file Ubuntu uses but you'll want to check the Section "InputDevice" in one of the following files... If it does use xorg.conf it's probably link to XF86Config anyway...

cat /etc/X11/XF86Config

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

It's probably an incorrect driver but not having an optical mouse I could not tell you what driver to use... do some google searches for ubuntu x config files for optical mouse...
