I've yet to find a Linux distro it won't 'play nice' with.and I happen to like Logitech gear it's unpretentious, straight-forward, reasonably-priced, and just works as you'd expect it to.
M310 LOGITECH MOUSE USED DRIVER
All it requires is the bog-standard ' usb' kernel driver module, which has been a default part of the Linux kernel for many years. Trouble-free unless you're a gamer (in which case you wouldn't be looking at it anyway), for an 'everyday' mouse, it takes some beating. I have 2 of them one bought separately, and one as a combo with the wireless version of the K120 keyboard - both paired to the same, common dongle. Daniel Pavel gives details on requirements here.
M310 LOGITECH MOUSE USED INSTALL
Since this is written in Python, you'll need to install Python (either 2.7, or the later 3-series both should work OK) via the package manager first. There is a direct link for the Solaar 0.9.2 'all_deb' package here, from Canonical's Launchpad website. This article from ZDNet describes how the package works, with several snapshots illustrating the program and how it flabum1017:. Time-consuming, but it worked beautifully when I eventually fired it up. I adapted it for Puppy by downloading the tarball package, and manually placing everything in the correct location.
This is available as pre-built packages for some of the more common main-stream distros. I had a nose round after consigning XP to the great scrapyard in the sky, and discovered Solaar, by Daniel Pavel. This works OK because once paired, it remains so it's a function of the Unifying receiver itself, and at a guess, there must be a wee 'flashROM' chip in the receiver's chipset (rather like a BIOS flash ROM chip). So you need to boot into Windows temporarily (I still had XP at the time), just long enough to install the SetPoint software and pair/un-pair/re-pair your devices. I, too, found the same old problem the Logitech 'SetPoint' software that allows pairing, etc, is only available for Windows and Mac. Rewind back around 2 years to when I was using a ZoneTouch T400 (this was the model with the laptop-style 'touch strip' replacing the scroll wheel - a really sweet mouse that I kept for nearly 4 years till the left-click button 'switch' gave up the ghost). Actually, Madders, that's not strictly true.
