This card has 2 GPUs. In this configuration the mouse buttons randomly stop working. The mouse moves but you cannot make click. This bug is reported on many sites like these: http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release-beta/408388-xorg-xinerama-bug-no-response-mouse-clicks.html http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/411549-problem-mouse-stucks.html https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/296167 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6792364 It seems that this bug is solved on last versions of x11-xserver. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: The bug happens many times in usual working day. You can simulate the behaviour using xautomation package with the following command: #> xte "mousemove 1400 0" You can change the 1400 by other coordinates on the screen. Actual Results: The mouse moves but you cannot click. Expected Results: The mouse must move an click as usual. In the forums listed before I have found a workaround to revive the mouse when the bug appears. Using the xautomation package with the following command the mouse starts to work again: #> xte "mousemove 0 0"
