the mouse says: Cordless MouseMan Wheel (Logitech), it has

to work with X using protocol MouseManPlusPS/2.

anybody? any hints? should I look at driver? are there some docs for
logitech mice (protocol)?

err.. they all Just Work (tm) here.. ps2 or USB, IMPS/2 driver

which kernel (mine doesn't work with 2.6.5, used to work with 2.4.x),
which mouse models? I guess there might be more models and for some
reason my particular model does not work. Can you find out which
protocol the kernel is using (psmouse, not usb)?

2.4.x, 2.61,3,5, currently 2.6.5 on 4 PCs

-logitech cordless optical for notebooks (USB)
-logitech cordless mouseman optical (via a kmv switch to 2PCs )(ps2)
-logitech cordless optical mouse(ps2)

err. how do i find out the protocol the kernel uses?


Check your kernel logs (/var/log/messages perhaps). Grepping for "psmouse" will help you find the relevant part.

didn't find anything for psmouse but found these in dmesg output after doing modprobe psmouse with difeferent protocols (you can see I was trying different protocols, none of them worked (turning wheel doesn't work, sidebutton is same as middle button):
