Blender in Ubuntu Studio Menu Buttons not working

Hi, I have installed Ubuntu Studio on a second hard drive, and when I run blender (2.43) everything as far as the 3D view port and graphics seem fine, but I cant right click, and I cant click the menus buttons (view, file, anything on those title bars for the panels). Has anyone heard of this issue before? And does anyone know of a fix?
EDIT: Tried Blender 2.44, same issue.

Thanks

If you got an Ati card, that may be the problem. I couldn’t get my X800XL to work properly in Linux.

I would check up on what Sladi was talking about. I have regular ubuntu 7.04, and 2.43 and 2.44 have worked fine for me

I just have plain old Ubuntu but I had similar problem with Blender when I turned on Desktop effects. Turn them off and it should work fine.:smiley:
