Software:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 35 Kernel 3.2.0.35-generic
Hardware:
Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Mainboard (Motherboard)
Not working Hardware:
Problem Description:
USB Port is working (other mice work at the same port). Mouse doesn't do anything, no movement, no buttons, nothing). Makes no difference if booting while mouse is plugged in or plugging it in when the system is up and running. Tryied every USB Port works nowhere. Only displays current dpi, but it does that whenever power supply is given.
Same mouse works perfectly under Windows 7/8.
The device is recognized as:
Linux:~$ sudo lsusb | grep Holtek
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 04d9:a081 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc.
at least that is the device that disappears/reappears when I (un)plug the mouse
Update:
According to the manufacturer support the solution is to recompile the kernel with the change:
Sources-File: include/linux/hid.h
--- #define HID_MAX_USAGES 12288
+++ #define HID_MAX_USAGES 64000

I haven't tried it yet.
