mouse buttons not working

[Regenerate]

Hi All,

Today I installed ubuntu 8.04 on my workstation (see signature below for specs). The (imho strange) problem is that after a clicking around for a minute or so, I can still move around the mouse cursor, but the mouse buttons stop functioning.
I tried a USB mouse and a PS/2 mouse. Since both have the same problem I guess the mouse hardware isn't the problem.

Any suggestions to what my problem (and a solution) might be?)

Thanks in advance.

hope this helps, take a look at my seven button programmable usb mouse settings in my xorg.conf, yours may need some extra info but the general idea is the same. everything that scrolls or clicks is a button.

you may wanna copy paste this into your xorg. it is from mine but it may work just make sure you have the usb mouse connected when you boot the pc.

if the display does not load on a reboot then just remove the section from your xorg using the command line, beware that if you do not know how to get the editor working from the command line, then read how to boot and edit from the command line before playing with your xorg.
