months later, I reinstalled 9.04. Blacklisted usbtouchscreen, and removed the xorg...evtouch package from synaptic package manager.
I did this over and over again, and while everything was calibrated, I was not able to click the mouse. It would just hover over, even right click, but no left click. I finally ran:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and found a line I have never seen before: SkipClick = "1". I changed it to "0" and rebooted. Did the trick.
I am posting it because I have found no other reference to it, also at the rate in which I seem to reinstall ubuntu on my carpc, its good that I document this for myself
