Today some updates to Lubuntu 12.04 change the behaviour to double tap = right click. I consider that a bug and would like to see it fixed. I have a right button my me EeePC.
synclient TapButton3=3 TapButton2=2 fixes it temporarily. With every Fedora and Ubuntu release these problems crop up, I guess it is because some Gnome devs think the Mac way of doing things is always right. It is really annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 Title: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Invalid Status in NULL Project: Invalid Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Lucid: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” source package in Lucid: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics LSB version = karmic Package version = 1.1.2-1ubuntu5 Expected behaviour: Tap the touchpad with 2 fingers simultaneously to generate middle-click event. Tap with 3 fingers for right-click event. Observed behaviour: A 2-finger tap generates a right-click event and a 3-finger tap generates a middle-click event. Looking at the changelog for 1.1.2-1ubuntu1 I see this: "105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Swap the right/middle clicks generated by multi-finger tapping." This patch is then reverted in 1.1.2-1ubuntu2: "105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Drop patch as it breaks the expected behavior for multitouch clicking (LP: #320585)." However, I still experience the behaviour introduced in -1ubuntu1. Hopefully I can help get the expected behaviour back in time for karmic's release.
