Description of problem: My mouse (external usb) left click stops working after a while - no idea what causes it, hoping you can hope me figure it out It's probably not a hardware problem cause if I do ctl-alt-bs (restart x windows?) then it works again. (Unfortunately, I've lost all my windows too.) Is there some way to make some other gesture also work as left click? I wonder whether that would stop working at the same time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I don't really know what component to blame. I Hope you can help me on that too. How reproducible: use the computer for a while Unplugging and replugging the mouse doesn't help. I use the external mouse cause the touchpad left click stopped working. Maybe this has something to do with it? But when I restart X the touchpad left click still doesn't work and the external mouse left click does.
New evidence - I thought I'd try to map some other key to the left mouse button. xte 'mouseclick 1' did not work when my mouse was not working but then I restarted X and it did. So I now think something is broken in X. Not long ago I had file system check problems on boot and had to do fsck with a bunch of y's - maybe that has something to do with it. How can I find out which files were repaired?
