I just boyght a new mouse from logitech instead of a cheap trust model. same story. sometimes the mouse fails to be initialized correctly. it alsways works if X inits the mouse, from X --> VC it fails many times.

what always works is from a VC go to X, move the mouse (!) and go back and re-issue rcgpm restart.
I have been suffering from this exact problem for a long time, and am eager to find a resolution. If i can help in any way in troubleshooting this let me know.....
