Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 432814] Re: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty
Oleksandr Shybystyi, that doesn't work for gnome3? That's a shame. I think I'm just going to give OpenSuse a try, I've had it with all those terribly easy to solve bugs in Ubuntu that are open for more than a year.

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.

If that can be configured in gconf-editor (as Yuri showed) it should not be that difficult to add that option. there are enough configuration paths besides Gnome: udev policy, xorg.conf, even a sesion startup script to run synclient TapButton2=2 TapButton3=3... problem is, gnome-settings-daemon walks all over that and loads its hardcoded configuration, and then resets whatever you configured manually using synclient every time an input device is added/removed. The most logical step would be to make gnome leave the predefined configuration alone; if one knows how to change that, it's most likely someone who knows what they're doing (or has received copy'n paste advice from someone who knpws what they're doing). my 0.02€ -- Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 432814] Re: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty
@Evgeny, oops, sorry if I read the bug incorrectly! If 3-tap truly takes takes an unhuman skill to perform, then it shouldn't be assigned any gesture. Yes, middle-click is a great and venerable feature that I sometimes use, and that many people commenting on this bug find indispensable. But more people use right-click than middle-click, and many new laptops are dropping physical buttons altogether (especially netbooks). I am not referring only to Macs, but I'd still wager that the number of users running Ubuntu on Apple laptops, where right-click is performed with 2-tap, has already exceeded the number of Ubuntu users who use 2-tap for middle-click. -- Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
