Could be a kernel bug. I had a problem with the middle button on my usb mouse. It was a kernel bug introduced between 2.6.20-rc4 and 2.6.20-rc5. My bug report is at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8099
A fix for a usb Logitech device killed the middle button for some usb mice. The patch in that bug report at least fixes my mouse. -- [Feisty] Middle click fails with no action https://launchpad.net/bugs/83571 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
