GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 757746
Fedora 23 + xorg downgraded + nvidia driver = mouse not working in gnome shell
Last modified: 2015-12-16 20:55:51 UTC
Upgraded Fedora from 22 to 23. Downgraded xorg from 1.18 to 1.17 F22, because nvidia driver does not like xorg 1.18 as it is still RC. Rebuilded nvidia kernel driver for GEForce 6 and Linux kernel 2.4.5-300 F23 with akmods and xorg 1.17. Now gnome 3.18 starts in F23 with this latest kernel, but mouse is not working in gnome-shell. Can't activate calendar, or other icons in top panel. Can't start apps with the mouse from apps bar. Can't switch workspaces. Can't give focus to an app from the app list showed by windows key. I have to use only keyboard, and reboot through another terminal. Only upper left angle in top panel responds to mouse pointer. Disabled all gnome extensions - problem persists. Moreover, any application main bar does not respond to mouse click. Can't close application, or maximize it through button, or move it. Left or right mouse button is not working. But the mouse _is_ working inside applications. For example, I can use Firefox or Thunderbird without problem. Only application main bar is completely not responding to mouse clicks.
It seems to be not a Gnome bug. Temporary resolved changing Nvidia drivers - complete solution steps here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/77996/fedora-23-nvidia-gnome-shell-mouse-not-working/?answer=78031#post-id-78031
