Swiss Gear Wireless Mouse

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has one of these Swiss gear Wireless mouses.

http://www.amazon.com/DAYTONA-SwissGear-Wireless-Optical-Mobile/dp/B000SKXCXO

I bought one at the local store today, to replace my other wired optic mouse (because the grain on my desk makes the cursor jump around the page.... its a cheap acer..... ironically my second computer which has a logitech optic wireless mouse works perfectly....) Anway, to make a long story short, I can't seem to get this mouse to work. I've changed the setting in the sysinstall to Protocol: Auto & Port: Tried each setting. and still can't get the mouse to work.

If anyone could help out that would be great.
 
Forgot to add I see this in my boot up which i believe is my mouse...

Code: 
ums0:<vendor 0x062a product 0x0000, class0/0, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2> on uhub0
ums0: 5 buttons and z dir.

And at any point if i plug my other mouse back in my mouse returns and works again...

my other mouse
Code: 
ums1: <KYE PowerScroll EYE, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2> on uhub1
ums1: 3 buttons and Z dir.
 
No, I have no mouse in my terminal or in X/KDE. As for the HAL Im not sure at all. I know I had to install HAL before when I was trying to get my cdrom to auto-mount/un-mount. But the system has ben wipped and re-installed since then.. and I didn't install any HAL components.. personally, now if bsd or kde3.5/kde4.1 do then maybe...

There's quite a simple solution for that, it's called a mouse mat :e

(Use one that is one solid color, no pictures on it)
 
Yes that would be the simple solution :p
But I really hate mouse pads; Not sure why; just never liked them. And I prefer wireless mice, and with the setup I have with both computers on the same desk the wired mouse just causes problems.
 
I too prefer wireless mice but I do use mouse mats, simply because of the erratic behavior of optical/laser mice on some surfaces.

I've found the 'old school' mats, the ones with the rubber bottom and a felt top work best. Do make sure it's in one color though, or else you'll have that same erratic behavior again.
 
Stick to console for a minute. Tail /var/log/messages, remove the 'old' mouse and plug the new one in. Does it work in the console? Is moused being loaded?
 
Ok just did a fresh boot, logged into console, unplugged old mouse(it was working). Plugged in new mouse.
this showed in the console:

why does it not have the file or directory.... because if i unplug that mouse again, and plug in the old one again, it works again..lol, wouldn't the driver be the same driver?
