How do you set up the mouse config so that it is stable? WAS How do you make the logitech mouse work right?

[Knapp]

Problems are the 2 times in red. The numbers keep changing with reboot. I
have to do alt-ctrl-f1 and start vim and then use "xev | grep -i button" to
find out what they have become and change them. Then restart X. It is a pain
to say the least!
Thanks to anyone that can help with this!!




xorg.cong:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Logitech RX1000"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Protocol" "evdev"
    Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Optical Mouse"

*     Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0" # These may change with reboot and
testing!!  I don't know why this is. You find them with the command.cat
/proc/bus/input/devices
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" # These may change with reboot and
testing!!  I don't know why this is.*

    Option "Buttons" "8"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Resolution" "1000"
    Option "CorePointer"

1. Sun Tzu said: Raising a host of a hundred thousand
men and marching them great distances entails heavy loss
on the people and a drain on the resources of the State.
The daily expenditure will amount to a thousand ounces
of silver. There will be commotion at home and abroad,
and men will drop down exhausted on the highways.
As many as seven hundred thousand families will be impeded
in their labor.

2. Hostile armies may face each other for years,
striving for the victory which is decided in a single day.
This being so, to remain in ignorance of the enemy's
condition simply because one grudges the outlay of a hundred
ounces of silver in honors and emoluments, is the height
of inhumanity.
