Binary package hint: udev

The left mouse button of my Asus laptop stops working. It simply does
not react to any clicks. The movement of the cursor and right button are
not affected. The external (USB) mouse AND touch pad are both affected.
Disconnecting or disabling either has no effect. The remaining one will
still eventually quit working. The only solution I've found so far
(other than a reboot of course) is to restart gdm. I've (so far) never
lost the button after a restart of gdm, which is really bizzare.

A similar problem was reported in the forums:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1323171&highlight=left+mouse+button

This was re 8.10 and the problem was solved by blacklisting "Macintosh
mouse button emulation" in the hal. If nobody has any better ideas I'll
try to figure out how to accomplish this with a udev rule (I'm open to
all the hints I can get).

This appears to have happened at some point between the last beta and
the release. I hadn't updated this particular laptop in a while and
didn't see this until after the release (oops). This may be a kernel
error from one of the later updates.
