[Bug 874237] Re: Emulate3Buttons option does not work anymore to enable emulation of a middle button
For future googlers: dconf-editor is an easier way to set the (very stupid) gnome middle-button setting. Run dconf-editor from a command prompt and navigate to org::gnome ::settings-daemon::mouse. You should see the middle-button-enabled checkbox in the right-hand panel. You should find this 'feature' documented in, um, well, I have NFI where you should find this documented.

[Bug 874237] Re: Emulate3Buttons option does not work anymore to enable emulation of a middle button
I'm having the same problem. Emulate3Buttons does not work. I'm using a logitech wheel mouse, part of the MX5500, so pressing the wheel toggles the operation of the wheel itself rather than sending middle- click. With Emulate3Buttons, I was happy enough. I tried changing the relevant section in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf to: Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev pointer catchall" MatchIsPointer "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "True" EndSection ...but, no dice. This is what I had to do in 11.04 to make it work; but it doesn't seem like it's working. Very frustrating; I use that copy/paste shortcut all the time.

[Bug 874237] Re: Emulate3Buttons option does not work anymore to enable emulation of a middle button
It turns out that this is a gnome 3 configuration problem. [quote from http://who-t.blogspot.com/2011/04/gnome-30-middle-mouse- button-emulation.html ] GNOME 3.0 has a gsettings key to also trigger this behaviour on a per- user basis (see bug 633863). The default value is off (false). Settings applied from the desktop environment overwrite xorg.conf(.d) settings, so to get middle button emulation in GNOME simply toggle the gsettings key and don't worry about xorg.conf(.d). The command to toggle the key is: $> gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse \ middle-button-enabled true [/quote] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874237 Title: Emulate3Buttons option does not work anymore to enable emulation of a middle button To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/874237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Wow, thanks joey-cai! I made a quick bash script for that command in /usr/local/bin. It wasn't obvious to me how to launch it at startup... I found nothing for that in the system settings menu. Then I tried the easy thing... search for startup in the Unity dash. And Startup Applications Preferences came up.
