Summa summarum, there is no way for me to left click on Ubuntu, and I can only left click with my mouse on Windows 7. The left click did not work on my USB mouse either. I then installed Ubuntu, and lo and behold, after installation, neither touchpad-click, nor the keyboard-button click for left clicking did not work (on Ubuntu).
I figured windows must have messed something up, so I booted an Ubuntu Live CD.
I tried reinstalling the drivers (nearly fresh copy of W7, by the way), that did not help. I boot up my laptop and remember that it didn't work. Right click worked fine.Īs I don't use my laptop very often (and when I do, I use a mouse, where both clicks were working fine), I practically forgot about the problem thinking it was probably a driver issue and I was too lazy at the time to figure it out.įast forward to today. That keyboard-bound left-click button also did not work. At one point in its life, the left click on the touchpad simply decided to stop working.
