Logitech mouse (Unified receiver) only sporadically recognized as mouse (F17)

[user5031858]

I have pretty new ultrabook (UX32VD). And wireless mouse M705. When I plug it in, it is always recognized in list of devices,

but /dev/input/mouse1 does not always appear, I just switch it off and on changing USB ports once it gets working. (mouse0 -- is touchpad I guess)
Interesting that when I put receiver of older Logitech mouse, it is always recognized as mouse and /dev/input/mouse2 (or mouse1) always appears however it has smaller device-ID:

Fedora is 17, and USB is 3.0 on previous machine (Fedora 16) never had such problems

I had issues with mine on some of the previous kernels, but it's now working correctly. But, I have it plugged into a USB 2.0 port, and not a USB 3.0 port.

Do you have a USB 2.0 port you can plug it into and see if you still have issues with it? (No need to tie up a USB 3.0 port with a mouse, anyway, unless that is the only port you have.)

This beast is equipped with all USB 3 ports. I have older notebook, and this one on Fedora 16 and it has onlyUSB 2 port -- everything is OK on it.
I am absolutely surrprised -- I always thought that USB wireless mouses are best-compatible with any OS (as opposed to Bluetooth wireless mouses that are always trouble-some)

Hmm I've got an m705 on a USB3 port on a tower -- no problems.

it is Ivy Bridge model (ASUS UX32VD http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-...k.75591.0.html)
and USB is via xhci_hcd (http://www.linlap.com/wiki/asus+ux32vd)
probably the problem is somewhere here.

the problem is still there I changed bitness to 32-bit PAE. Got the same results. Some times work somethimes not.
