I think page 61 is just an example of one possible report descriptor for a mouse. Could you follow the instructions below to get the report descriptor for your mouse and post it to the list? o Remove the `ums' device from your kernel config, but leave in the `uhid' device (if you're using modules, just unload ums and make sure uhid is loaded). o Plug in the mouse o Check dmesg for the correct uhid device, e.g. you should see something like: uhid0: Logitech USB Mouse, rev 1.10/4.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1 o Run this command usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid0 -ra replacing the uhid0 name with the correct device for your mouse. Thanks, Ian
