right click not working

I set up Arch at a friends house with his mouse and keyboard, and everything worked fine.  Now that it's home, however, right click doesn't do anything.  I know it's not the mouse because xev registers the right click.  here is my xorg.conf:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder58)  Tue Oct 20 21:25:04 PDT 2009


Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Files"

    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Any ideas why right clicking wont work?  Let me know if you need me to post another config file.

Re: right click not working

Have you tried to use hotplugging?  There's usually no reason to explicitly specify your mouse and keyboard in xorg.conf.

Re: right click not working

Hey, that worked!  Thanks alot tavianator.  Just out of curiosity, is there a reason that it wouldnt work using nvidia-xconfig?

EDIT: turns out that didnt work, and its actually compiz thats messing up.....but when i moved my xorg.conf, compiz didnt load right, therefor disabling it and letting my mouse right click.  any more suggestions as to why compiz wont let me right click?
