Issues using a USB mouse with X/Gnome?

[Ian]

I've had weird problems with my Logitech mouse too, with Windoze as 
well. Maybe you could try moving the receiver closer to where you mouse 
is, this solved some problems for me.
One thing I've noticed is that my mouse stops working after a soft 
reboot. I have to hit the reset button or turn the PC off then start 
again for the mouse to work. This happens with Windoze and Linux, so 
dunno what the problem is, BIOS maybe???
