Logitech MX700 Moiuse Prblems

I have read many messages on the various lists concerning
the Logitech
MX700 mouse and button problems, especially with the
scrolling wheel.
The message that provided me the real clue to what is going
on was the
one to hardware by Joe Schmoe that went through a very
complex setup
involving xorg.conf, xmodmap and imwheel.  This is just too
much work!

Since I always have to modify moused to make my mice operate
left-handed, I know how to use moused to accomplish the same
operation
with absolutely no change to xorg.conf, xmodmap or imwheel. 
Here is the
entry for my mouse in usbd.conf:

device "Mouse"
        devname "ums[0-9]+"
        attach "/usr/sbin/moused -m 3=1 -m 1=3 -m 4=6
-m 6=4 -m 5=7 -m
7=5 -p /dev/$
-I /var/run/moused.$.pid ; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m
on"

What I do there is exchange the operation of buttons 1 and 3
to provide
left-handed operation, then switch buttons 4 and 6 and
buttons 5 and 7.
I do not change anything else in the standard xorg.conf
file.

Now, my mouse wheel works all the time.  That whole mess
with xmodmap
and imwheel just confused me since I have never used or
heard of imwheel
and I also haven't used xmodmap in years, although I used
to use it
regularly.

I hope this helps someone else.

/Joe
