Logitech Unified Receiver Mouse M510 (EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)

  • 772

The mouse is associated with the receiver, detected and seen by the Solaar applet but the curstor doesn't move. What should I try to fix?

This M510 mouse was/is working with Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows. The machine is the Dell XPS 13 laptop with pre-installed Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. Synaptics touchpad is working fine too.

Besides apt says: E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-input-mouse. It seems to be last available for wily.

  1. The culprit was the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-natural-scrolling.conf that I have added trying to resolve the inverted scrolling direction problem of the laptop touchpad. It had the following content:

    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "natural scrolling for mouse wheel"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "mouse"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option "Protocol" "Auto"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 4"
EndSection

    it seems to have no effect on the scrolling though. EDIT: the below file doesn't seem to have any effect on the scrolling but breaks the mouse functionality. I have deleted it but do not have the problem with the wrong scrolling direction anymore.
