REALLY Annoying Mouse Problem

I'm sorry if I'm bugging anyone.. This is my first post here..

K..the problem is that my mouse clicking was perfect a few hours ago..

All of the sudden (without me doing anything besides looking around @ websites)... I only clicked ONCE and it seemed as if I clicked twice..

It does this to all applications.. So it isn't a particular app thats causing the problem.
I have a desktop pc(not a laptop)
I have been reading around and the problem is supposedly that I have TWO mouses in my xorg.conf file.. I don't and never have :/
Its not the mouse.. (I tried 3 other mouses, all of them have the same problem)

At first (i think it started at 1 pm) it was just minor.. After a few hours (3pm - Now(11:33pm)) it got ALOT more serious (Now it double clicks for every click ALL the time, it used to do it only once in a while)
I'm not sure why.. Theres nothing going on besides me browsing the web.. How could it get worse as I watch? :s How could it happen.. as I watch?

This problem is TOO annoying.. Its interfiering with all my work..
The police took my other pc with windows in it due to abuse.
So this is the only pc I have atm.. I reformated (got rid of windows) and put debian on this pc... Now I regret it.. I've had nothing but unsolve-able problems throughout all my whole time on linux. I want to put windows back on this pc and get rid of linux but I don't have the windows cd (some ****face apperantly stole it while my mum let him use the phone) and am unsure about how to remove debian.

Heres my xorg.conf file (which is apperantly most likely the problem)
I had some trouble getting it due to the clicking problem, I also had problems browsing/finding this site cause of it

Code:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

As you can see.. There is no second mouse entry

What else is there for me to do?

That didn't help Any other suggestions Edit: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/deb...matically.html Looks like someone else has had this problem.. And was also unsolved. The fix for that persons problem is removing 1 of the mouses in the xorg.conf file.. As for me...? I'm pretty much tied up here :/

Can you post the xorg.conf from Ubuntu so that we can compare? __________________ Registered Linux user #388328 \|\| Registered LFS user #15880 AMD 64 X2 4600+ :: 2X1GB DDR2 800 :: GeForce 9400 GT 512MB :: ASUS M2N32 Deluxe :: 4X250GB SATAII Need instant help?
