Typically input device recognition issues are due to kernel driver loading issues.
In both the Xorg logs and all three gdm logs you posted it is showing a Logitech USB optical mouse being recognized, so unfortunately there isn't an error to go on here. It's showing up fine in dmesg as well. Here is how I'd go about debugging the problem if it was my mouse: First rule out any hardware issues like flaky batteries (it happens!) and so on. Then, reboot until you get a boot where it *doesn't* detect the mouse. I'd then look at `dmesg` output to see if the mouse is listed. There should be a line like this one: [ 3.298428] generic-usb 0003:046D:C50E.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech USB RECEIVER] on usb-0000:00:02.0-2/input0 If that is missing, then it is definitely a kernel bug. If it's there, next I'd look at the output of `sudo lsinput` which should display a listing of kernel-detected devices. The device should be shown there. If not, then probably a kernel bug. Next, look at the output of xinput list, verify whether the device is there. If not, and it was in lsinput and/or dmesg, then it might be an X bug. Look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log in this case and see if it is shown there. If you get this far, contact us X guys again and we'll take it from there. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725911 Title: Logitech wireless mouse recognition variable -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
