Jim Louvau, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

It simply does not react to any clicks. The movement of the cursor and right button are not affected. The external (USB) mouse AND touch pad are both affected. Disconnecting or disabling either has no effect. The remaining one will still eventually quit working. The only solution I've found so far (other than a reboot of course) is to restart gdm. I've (so far) never lost the button after a restart of gdm, which is really bizzare. A similar problem was reported in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1323171&highlight=left+mouse+button This was re 8.10 and the problem was solved by blacklisting "Macintosh mouse button emulation" in the hal. If nobody has any better ideas I'll try to figure out how to accomplish this with a udev rule (I'm open to all the hints I can get). This appears to have happened at some point between the last beta and the release. I hadn't updated this particular laptop in a while and didn't see this until after the release (oops). This may be a kernel error from one of the later updates.
