Hi Danilo Thank you for this info. I have used my system for many hours the last two days. Right now I'm making sw using Code::Blocks, and using the C::B program the system has now two times "lost" the ability to use mouse clicks. So I think there is a good chance you have spotted the problem. Right now I'm out of time. But I will install the latest driver from Nvidia. If it doesn't help, I must return to Ubuntu 8.04, this error is too bad. Best regards
