Comment 2 for bug 371563

I'm experiencing a similar problem on my laptop. Its a lenovo thinkpad t61. Left click randomly (random boot-ups) stops working. This affects both on touch-pad and "mouse" button.

However, a few times I have booted from a live xbuntu cd (9.04), and those times it has worked fine (although, since the problem is stochastic, this could be by chance).

The problems started some weeks ago under jaunty. But yesterday, I did a clean install with karmic and the problem still remains. Since the problem has gradually became more frequent it appears that it may be the touch-pad wearing out, but the computer is only 1 1/2 years old, and restarting Xorg generally fixes the problem (if not, another killall Xorg will do it). And once a session is running ok, it will stay ok until Xorg is started the next time.

How to proceed? Which information should I gather?

Thanks
