I replaced the battery in my USB wireless mouse and the x/y axis reveral does not occur anymore. Weird stuff for old timer.

Hola folks,
I realize this might not be a Mint distro specific issue, but as I am using it I'll post it here. I did post this in r/linuxmint earlier but nobody has answered or up/downvoted the post. So, lets try here. <3
I've been trying to get my USB Mouse (cheap Trust wireless mouse) working correctly on my Linux Mint (v20.2, latest updates) with Cinnamon (v5.0.5) desktop. It is installed on my "old" Macbook Air (Intel i5-5250U/1.6GHz, 8GB). The laptop integrated touchpad works well but the external USB mouse has both axis' inverted. I did this MacOS -> Mint transition few weeks ago and I will never look back <3
I've been trying several methods to fix this so you can't blame me of not trying atleast. But with no luck, axis' stay inverted whatever I do.
My mouse is identified just by "2.4G Mouse" with id number of 10
Here are some things I've tried:
1. Creating a transformation matrix of
Code: Select all
xinput set-prop "2.4G Mouse" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1"
Code: Select all
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Invert Mouse"
MatchProduct "2.4G Mouse"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "InvertY" "true"
Option "InvertX" "true"
EndSection
Code: Select all
xinput set-int-prop "2.4G Mouse" "Evdev Axis Inversion" 8 0 1
So what am I doing wrong? There must be a way to fix this.
This is a call for help. I'm not exactly a Linux n0b since I've been using Linux since early Red Hat versions, then mostly Ubuntu but Mint since like 3 weeks ago. Whats new is that few weeks ago I ditched the MacOS and installed Mint on it (yahoo!). Everything else on that Mac works perfectly, except this USB mouse thingy.
So any help would be nice. I do not die if this external mouse does not work as this MacBook Air has the touch pad. But it would be nice to get the mouse working as well. Oh, I haven't tried any other external mouses yet, I'll have to dig my reserves and try to find one (some dear day)...
Hjelpv! <3
