I am quite new to ubuntu (especially this version) and havent truely used it since version 7. I figure with windows 8 coming out its as good a time as any to start looking for a replacement os.
So last night I decided to get back into Ubuntu and install it along side of my windows 7. I stuck in an old 40gb harddrive I had laying around and started the install. all seemed to install fine. but for some reason my mouse will not work properly. I have a cyborg RAT 5 mouse. It will work on the dash home menu but that is it. if i am on any other window i cant left click or right click or even use scroll wheel.
also i did manage to get nvidia installed but its an old version according to their website and i cant get dual screen activated without mouse. i downloaded the new version but cant seem to get it installed at all. and due to overscanning on my hdtv i cant see all the menus or complete dash bar.
I would appreciate any help anyone could give with these problems. and will probably have more come up.
