Everything appears to work - accept for left clicking to select vertices, edges, and faces. Ctrl+A works, the right click menu works, but it is completely impossible to do anything useful, since I can't select individual things. ...any ideas about where to even start with a problem like this?

Or since using a laptop - are you using a real mouse, or one of those built-in little touch pad thingies? If the latter, probably have some custom app installed that manages "mouse" input from that.. maybe looking at the settings there to see if everything seems ok.. Anyone else have any ideas or seen something like this before?

The touchpad on my laptop is a regular mouse - at least as far as drivers are concerned (this is linux after all, not some bloated OEM WinXP install). I plugged in a USB mouse anyway, no luck. Left-clicking is registered everywhere else in wings. Searching other areas of the forum, I found this though: http://nendowingsmirai.yuku.com/topic/6253 If that's actually the issue (and the only fix), I'm basically SOL right now - ATI dropped support for the chipset of my video card (x1250) in their drivers, and the old drivers are incompatible with the latest version of Xorg. So even if the proprietary drivers would somehow make it work - I can't install them (without downgrading everything else).

Most likely a problem with the driver's handling of GL_SELECT, an OpenGL function/call Wings & a few other 3D apps use. Wouldn't be the first time, both Nvidia and ATI/AMD screwed it up at some points in the past, making it crazy slow (from few ms to seconds - I wonder if you held the mouse cursor over a poly long enough if it would eventually highlight? heh..) Anyhow, sadly, unless anyone here knows of a driver version that would work for you and not require you to downgrade (not something I can speak to as an Nvidia/WinXp user) you may well be SOL yea ´

That might solve your problems. It will be in the next development release (unless we find any serious problems with the new selection code).
