Logitech G5 mouse lacks precision
Just a minor problem but it does bug me: my Logitech G5 USB mouse does not work as well in Slackware (14.1 amd64) as it does in Windows (XP, 7 and 8.1). I can't describe what exactly is wrong but it just doesn't feel right. It seems jerky and imprecise. I haven't made any changes to xorg.conf, and the kernel I am running is the default generic kernel that comes with 14.1. Video card is an old ATI Radeon 4350 and I'm using the stock kernel driver for that.
Sorry to be so vague, but perhaps somebody else has had this problem and might be able to suggest some changes that would make a difference. Failing that, I am open to hearing recommendations for a new mouse that does work well in Slackware.
Edit: I should add that it has never worked as well in Linux as it does in Windows. It's not just Slackware 14.1 that has this problem. In Windows I use the native drivers, not those supplied by Logitech.
