I would really like to get this mouse, but haven't found anyone that has used it under linux. Does it work under linux?

Zoomer,

I just got this mouse today and I am currently using it on a box with RH 8.0 installed. It works flawlessly.

The only downside is that I have not found a way to program all of the buttons since Logitech only makes the configuration software for Micro$oft machines.

You can buy the mouse right now at Amazon for $42.99 after a $20 rebate.

Good luck...and let me know if you figure out how to program all the buttons to behave better!

Slaughter: What does your mouse entry look like in XF86Config?

umm not sure I dont have redhat installed at the moment i was trying to when I got a message saying linux cant find my HD's as they are on a promise raid controller and on the promise site they dont offer a driver for 8.0 only 7.3

so in answer to your question I dont know

That link doesn't work.

I'm having trouble with my mx 700 losing contact with the OS when I switch with my Belkin 4-port omniswitch. When I get to linux I can revive the mouse by Ctrl-Alt-Fn-ing out to a text screen and then back into X. Any ideas?
