It's still not fixed with Feisty Beta amd64. I first experienced it with the Herd 5 live CD. When the Beta came out I installed with the Alternate CD, but it still happened. Then I downloaded the Beta live CD and it still happens. My keyboard continues to work and, as others have noted, switching desktops resolves the problem for a while. I tried Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc, but that hung the computer.
The computer has an Abit NF-M2S motherboard with AMD-64/2 at 4600 and the mouse and keyboard are a Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110 (combo mouse and keyboard). I can also add some additional experience. This is a brand new box I put together for myself, so I have been trying various 64-bit distros. I have the same exact problem with OpenSUSE 10.2, Fedora Core 6, Simply Mepis 6.5 rc2 and Mandriva-free-20007 (all 64-bit versions). But I did not have the problem with Gentoo 2006.1. I noted that Gentoo used KDE and also used Vesa, where the others used the nv drivers for the onboard nVidia GeForce 6100. At this point the computer is running Fedora 7 test2, using the nv driver and Gnome 2.18.0, and kernel 2.6.20-1. The problem has completely disappeared. So if y'all want to find out what fixed it, look at what is different between Feisty Beta amd64 and Fedora 7 test2 amd64. -- Mouse clicks stop working sporadically https://launchpad.net/bugs/41301 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
