I just received a Logitech laptop mouse, which worked right out of the box, however, there is no driver for Ubuntu (linux) that I can find. How can I get the full functions of the V450?
Logitech do not provide drivers for any platform other than Windows and Macintosh..Therefore there are no drivers for Linux. You will be able to use it as a regular mouse, but cannot use the higher functions unfortunately..

There should be a small reset button for it on the bottom,try holding it in for 30 seconds.
If this does not work,reinstall the drivers for it on your laptop.
The problem is likely in the software (drivers), assuming that you are using quality batteries (those manufacturer's specs are based on top-shelf, fresh-off-the-truck alkaline batteries).
When you replaced the first set of batteries, the absence of a mouse caused the receiver to search, and having found none, it's common for the driver to reset to default settings.
The Logitech driver is the first suspect; go to Control Panel, Logitech Mouse...Driver Properties... Look for the "Auto-off" setting, and change it to 10-30 mins (or the lowest setting you can live with)...What you're looking for is the driver that has reverted to "never" in the auto-off setting...and if that isn't changed here, then it was Windows. You'll have to tunnel a bit to get to this one, but it's not as hard as it looks.
The second suspect is the Windows driver; For Win XP, from the Control Panel, go to "Mouse"...or for Win-7 go to Control Panel- Devices and Printers, Hardware- and choose "Mouse" from the text links.
From the new menu, choose the "hardware" tab, and the "Properties" button near the bottom. The new menu page has a text area that states "This device is working properly", and under that is a button labeled "Change Settings"...Click it. Click the radio button labeled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"...and you're done.
Hi, Contact Logitech as this is still under warranty they may ask you to send it back to them but they will send you a new mouse normally. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.
It has the latest mouse driver (logitech setpoint 4.0). Before installing Ubuntu the setup worked w/ SUSE/XP using GRUB dual boot. After installing Ubuntu XP does not see the usb mouse. Even Logitech setpoint does not have the mouse setup/configuration option. It appears that at boot it does not recognize the mouse or disables it. The BIOS has the usb keyboard and mouse enabled. Currently, I have two mices one for xp and either mouse will work under Ubuntu.
Here's a link to a how-to for making the logitech V450 work in Ubuntu:
