I've used one on FreeBSD in the past, and it would work for weeks, and then the mouse or the keyboard would stop working even through reboots. I had to go through combinations of resetting the logitech hardware to get it to work again. I found the sequence on Logitech's website, it was something like reset all three pieces, unreset the wireless part, then unreset the keyboard and mouse. I'm currently using this mouse/keyboard on a Windows system. I have to unplug and replug the USB connection after the system powers up to get Windows to find the mouse, at first it powers up only with the keyboard. 100% reproducible. I have a newer version and don't have any problems. Peter Dufault HD Associates, Inc.
