But thanks man, that is definitely the problem, I will pla...

Re: Mint 17.1 not responding to mouse clicks

No not really any special reason, just thought that it might run a little faster and be a little more stable. That is the advise that I had received anyway. I think I got it pretty much solved and working some of the kinks out now.
