Mouse does not respond in Linux boot

[mishmosh21]

Hello,

I have been trying to install linux on my system (after seeing on how shady microsoft really is), but noticed that my main mouse does not respond in the linux environment, but works fine in windows. I have tried multiple mice, and none of them have worked.

 

Here are my machine specs, if it helps:

* AMD FX 8350 at stock

* MSI 970 Gaming motherboard

* 16 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport

* EVGA gtx 970 FTW at stock

 

I have tried this on various flavors of Ubuntu and Manjaro, and none of the mice that I tried worked. Any Ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

First of all hello.

You didn't tell us what mice is in question? I remember that some Gigabyte mice didn't work properly on linux a few years ago, but i for example have a shit Gigabyte mouse right now and I'm writing this from Ubuntu 16.04. 

This might seem basic but did you try a different port? Front - back IO? Also if you have any other mouse in the house to try it out would be helpful.

I'm using a logitech g402 mouse, and it's well documented that it works with linux.

go into the bios, somewhere in there, you will find a mouse setting that is more than likely "advanced." change this to basic and that should solve this problem. if not, let me know

 

Wait, that shouldn't be a problem for Ubuntu based distros.... That's a Debian issue... Try running Linux Mint, I personally prefer it over Ubuntu and it's still good for Linux beginners

I would, but I need to run Ubuntu Mate for dev purposes. I can't seem to find any option for advanced mouse mode. I'll try turning off the USB 3 controller and report back.
