I upgraded from Maverick to Natty and then the mouse wouldn't click. It wasn't frozen, I could move the pointer, but none of my clicks registered. In the login screen I selected the Ubuntu Classic without the Compiz effects, and this lets me in and everything works fine (except Compiz, that is). But any time I try to log in with Unity or with the effects on the mouse will not click.
I'm using the current NVidia driver for my GeForce 7300SE with an Acer S211HL monitor set at 1920x1080 60Hz. This configuration worked perfectly under 10.10 and 10.4, even with all of the Compiz effects.
I tried backing up my data files and installing 11.04 fresh, formatting the drive. Same problem. I can always get in with the effects off, but any time I try either Unity or the Classic with effects on I can't click on anything with the mouse.

I have a similar problem. I can log in (classic with effects), but after working for a while, the mouse behaves strangely:
* I cannot focus any window
* the cursor does not change on hover, always stays at the same state (for example the text-selector)
* if I manage to open a terminal by shortcut it gets focussed, but I cannot leave
* xkill and xwininfo cannot grab the mouse
* if the cursor "froze" in text-select mode I can select text without even hovering over the text: I have to displays. on #1 there is a term. When I click & drag the mouse cursor on the second screen, text in the terminal gets selected
