I don't know. I had the problem only on a brand new desktop computer I built for myself over spring break. I tried (all amd64 versions) CentOS, Mepis, Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Fedora 7 test2, Ubuntu Feisty Beta, and Debian Etch (final). Every single one of them displayed the same problem. Sometimes I could fix it by holding the cursor over a window and doing Alt-Tab, sometimes I had to log off and back in again. Eventually I discovered the "noapic pci=off" command and that solved it for all of them. The computer is currently running Ubuntu Feisty final and I still had to go in and add the command. The computer has an Abit NF-M2S motherboard that has onboard nVidia chipset for everything except the gigabit ethernet which is Realtek. The video is nVidia GeForce 6100 and the rest is nforce 405. But who know which part is the culprit? All I can say is try it on your laptop and see what happens. -- Mouse clicks stop working sporadically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
