mouse issues in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx?

[Syrinx]

My machine is still plenty usable. In fact I'm using it now. :)

But my mouse is acting weird. Single-clicks are interpreted as double-clicks, etc.

Maybe it's a mechanical problem with the mouse. But it started when I upgraded to Lynx.

:shrug:

1. If it's a USB mouse, try a different USB slot

You might tinker with System >> Preferences >> Mouse: there's a "simulate double-click with primary button" checkbox there

Really dunno -- but if it's an old or nonstandard mouse, maybe System >> Administration >> Hardware Drivers could pick up something

Sometimes the little mofos just die: it's happened to me

2. thanks for the suggestions

I'm bound to have another mouse around here to try, if I can only find it.

3. You should be able to find a bunch under $15 and some under $10
