mouse input issues.

[seawing]

Thanks Scott.  This behavior seems to be effecting any window that I have
open. I don't believe that I have a mouse driver, and if I do it is
pre-installed.  I am using a logitec wireless mouse.  I broke my only PS2
mouse right at the begining of this process so I don't currently have one
to test with.  I do have a ps2 adapter that I will try.

I am making it limp along by doing what I said earlier, dragging a tab in a
window and dropping it makes all the areas active. as soon as I click on
something, change to a different open application for example, then only
the application buttons are active and the tabs and buttons in the window
are not active.  I then grab one of those application buttons, like the
Firefox or konqueror buttons and act like I am dragging them to the
desktop, but then drop them back where they were and then all the buttons
are active again.
much have to shut down
This mostly works until something happens where no buttons work and the
only way to switch applications is to alt+tab.  This sometimes gets it
unstuck.

This morning instead of having a click problem I was having a white
flashing screen.  I changed to the x.org x server video driver and that
went away.  I thought all of my problems were solved, but after half an
hour of working the click problem came back.

I have disabled all the desktop effects, but that didn't help.

I will try the ps2 adapter now.
