Wow! My exact issue! I also have the old timey 3000 N100 :D But with dual boot vista/ubuntu 12.10
But for me the system detects that the mouse pointer is there, because buttons light up etc., but I cannot click anything... Not even the date and time icon! So pressing Alt is the only solution?

I have a five year old Lenovo N100 3000 laptop. The install went smoothly and everything worked fine until later this evening. This started happening when playing scrabble on Facebook. The clicks would stop working. After a restart, it would work normally, but after an hour or so, it would stop working. I know this isn't a hardware issue, because I plugged in a USB mouse as well, and it had the same problem when the left click (and even right click on one occasion) wasn't working on my trackpad (tapping on the trackpad for left click stopped working too). How do I find out what's causing this, and more importantly, how do I fix it? P.S. I'll add an update in case it works fine if I don't use the Scrabble app. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1077805/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
