| USB Wireless mouse on G4, Tiger |
Posted by: RickNel on 2013-06-11 03:41:31
I have a Logitech V220 wireless mouse "for laptops", which I'd like to use with my Titanium Powerbook (I don't like trackpads).
The only Mac driver package on the Logitech site requires OSX 10.5 Leopard.
Anyone know of any driver or hack that might work?

You mouse should work just fine without an additional driver as they all look to the OS like a USB HID. The driver is mostly for things like programming extra buttons. That said, there should be a Tiger compatible Logitech driver somewhere on their website (they used to have one for Mac OS 9); try looking for downloads for some of their older mice.

Hmm - the USB dongle seems not to be detected with standard Tiger - I'll look for an older Logitech driver as you suggest.

As a wrap to this - I found that the problem was not to do with any Logitech driver.
For other reasons, I did a complete clean re-install of Tiger. The Logitech "USB receiver" was immediately discovered and the mouse works perfectly.
Conclusion: the Tiger USB device enumeration database must have become corrupted. The clean install restored that to default settings.
