Bug Description

As title, ButtonPressed events are sent, but ButtonReleased mostly aren't. Unfortunately, this makes mouse input unusable.

Affected machine is a Dell D620 Core 2 Duo, the same machine was fine in Dapper i686, but had similar problems in Dapper amd64. Unfortunately, this affects Edgy i686 and amd64.

Noticed using 'xev'.

This doesn't seem to be a bug in the new evdev, which I've tried blacklisting, and forced the device to use the psaux protocol to no avail.

I confirm this bug.
I have a Centrino ASUS F3Jxxx.
Left button of the TouchPad is out of order.

I also tried a Gentoo LiveCD: same diseases.
So I think the bug is upstream and not in the package.

Thanks for your bug report.

Do you still have this problem on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) or with the latest gutsy live CD?

If you still have the problem please provide the following information:
1. Open a terminal and enter the following commands:
 $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/proc_bus_input_devices
 $ xmodmap -pp > ~/xmodmap-pp
 $ xev | grep -i button | tee ~/xev_grep-i_button
 Put the mouse cursor into the rectangle and push your mouse buttons.
2. Attach your ~/proc_bus_input_devices, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, ~/xmodmap-pp and ~/xev_grep-i_button to this bug report.
3. Include the minimal information as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies to the bug report.
