[ubuntu] Mouse not clicking

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I just installed 12.04 on an Alienware m14x, I use a Cyborg MMO7 mouse. When the mouse is plugged in I can click on the launcher bar stuff on the left but once a window is open I can't do anything with it. I cant close it or move to other windows without alt tab. I have tried editing the xorg file thing, but it didn't work. Right now I think its not so much that its a complicated mouse but a general mouse issue but I dont know enough to know for sure.

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Mouse not clicking

Mouse not working properly... 32 weeks 2 days ago

So this is a weird little issue I've come across.I bought a new mouse and when I first used it and installed the drivers for it (its a cyborg RAT7 Gaming mouse) I was logged into my windows partition.  The last time I booted into chakra my old mouse was working fine.So, the next time I booted into Chakra, I could not right click on the desktop but could left click and drag to group icons

This is quite annoying. For some reason I can not hold anything with my mouse.

For example.

I can not drag a window by holding its title bar. I can not move the scroll bar of any window by mouse. I can not even select text Alt+Click on a window does not move it.

All these tasks are related to dragging. And this dragging is not working.

On OSX I use Zooom2 to move my windows around with keyboard shortcuts and mouse motion. This operates in a very similar manner to Ubuntu, with the following difference:

On Zooom2, I have it set so holding down Shift + Cmd when the cursor is over a window and dragging the mouse moves said window.

I have a Cyborg R.A.T.3 mouse with two side buttons.

USB mouse doesn't work 2 years 22 weeks ago

Slackware 12.x, xorg.conf, fvwm95, generic 3-button scrollmice, both known to be working. USB ports work for various other USB devices -- card readers, portable drives, etc.

I can't get behind my machine to disconnect my ps2 mouse (long story -- ps2 mouse was removed once, but USB mouse still didn't work), but I'd like to add a (wireless, if possible, but not necessary) USB mouse.

Right mouse button doesnt work 34 weeks 16 hours ago

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 on my new Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 M772DGE. Unfortunately the right mouse button of the touchpad is not working correctly. Every mouse button click is interpreted as a left mouse button click. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the synaptics (xserver-xorg-input-synaptics) drivers, but the problem is still present.

What else can I do? Any other suggestions?

I am trying out live xubuntu on my samsung n150 (netbook, similar to eeepc). So far everything seems perfect, except for this one thing.

When I am clicking the mouse while moving the cursour, the click event is delayed. This is extremely annoying when i try to to move windows, because i end up clicking the window behind the window i am trying to move and thereby changing focus.
