If you have an elantech touchpad it seems there is a regression with the newest synaptics driver: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/873482 It is almost certainly 200_fix_four_tap.patch, it reintroduces the finger counting which is not valid for our touchpads.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
On Precise, the uTouch gesture stack sits on the client side of X. For it to work properly, touch events need to be emitted. Unfortunately, if the X synaptics input module is listening for three touch gestures (three touch tap for middle click, for example), this will prevent the X server from sending touch events, which blocks uTouch gestures. We decided to disable three touch gestures in X synaptics by default. It is still possible to enable them by using xorg.conf or the synclient/xinput utilities. For example: $ synclient TapButton3=2 will enable three-tap to middle click emulation. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Won't Fix ** No longer affects: utouch ** No longer affects: unity (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: unity ** Changed in: mactel-support Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+subscriptions ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
Are there any plans on some sort of fix for this? I'm really hoping there's something workable by 12.04. I'd imagine ubuntu currently has significantly more touchpad users than touchscreen users and they should not have significant missing functionality missing, especially for an LTS release. Would some sort of option in CCSM be a possibility? Or automatic detection of a touchpad that could enable this? Seems a bit odd that as mentioned above disabling the offending plugin still doesn't seem help things. Disabling the plugin isn't something I can test though, as a separate bug in the synaptics driver (mentioned above I believe) is also causing trouble with 3 finger taps without unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+subscriptions ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
I can confirm 3-finger tap-to-click does not work, even with the MT Grab Handles plugin disabled in ccsm. But this is not a bug in the PPA and I did only intend to fix actual clicking with clickpads for now. From memory, the reason for this is that unity unconditionally captures all 3-finger touch events. And the only way I know of preventing this is to hack the unity code (last time I checked about 9 months ago). This is why my fix works with clickpads and not touchpads (or tap to click). Because a 3-finger click on a clickpad is a physical button event that happens after a 3-finger touch, so it's easy to handle the button event even while unity is already handling the touch event that happened before it. I think a fix in unity itself is required to support touchpads or tap- to-click. It probably makes no sense that unity should still be capturing all 3-finger touches even when the MT Grab Handles plugin is disabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+subscriptions ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
All that's a bit confusing for me. I have a synaptics touchpad, and I was using really MUCH the three-fingers tap for opening links in a new tab, closing tab, pasting selections, etc. I think that was such a natural way of doing, that to say: change that for two fingers, is not a solution I can accept. There is a BIG advantage on having the mid-click assigned for three fingers: I use two for scrolling, and having two as a mid-clicks can trigger this action by mistake if I touch accidentally shot the touchpad, and then is much nicer to have the two-fingers-click assigned to right button, so, it just triggers the menu, ans just touching outside it get its out. Really fast and comfortable. The problem (don't know if that's what Unity is doing to avoid the three-finger-click) is that synclient -m 100 reports just one finger in touchpad when there are three. And for me is the same in unity or XFCE4. I cannot use he mid-click with three fingers, and, really, it's a hell.. That should never be changed in that way, with no option to re-adjust. It's not a new action. It's a BUG. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+subscriptions ___ 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
I agree NachoR. I'm not sure if the touchpad issue is the same as this clickpad issue. Because I've tried using gnome-shell and kubuntu. 3 finger tap doesn't work with either of them! In kubuntu I could get middle click working because by default kubuntu has middle click assigned to 2 fingers, but if I change it to 3 fingers it doesn't work. Any action assigned to 3 fingers in ubuntu 11.10 and its derivities does nothing at all. This is a big problem. I also tried using xinput via the command line to swap the 2 finger and 3 finger actions. As with kubuntu middle click worked when assigned to 2 fingers, but right click (now assigned to 3) no longer worked. I have an asus u52f with a ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad (uses synaptics driver).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
The issue with touchpads and clickpads actually overlaps a little bit in code. The fix I have so far (which still needs work), does affect touchpads and clickpads. But it will probably affect them differently... The distinction between touchpads and clickpads is necessary because the Unity designers have reserved 3-finger tap as a special gesture. I agree this is very annoying, but reserving the 3 finger tap gesture does not affect clickpad users because they can still do a 3-finger click without triggering a tap gesture. That all said, I know touchpad users still want a fix too, so I'll be looking at a general touchpad solution afterwards. P.S. Please make sure you can get 3-finger clicking/tapping working in Gnome Classic or Gnome Shell.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
In this case, a *click* means you have a clickpad which itself is one big button that can be depressed and makes a clicking sound. Like on an Apple Macbook, Magic Trackpad, or some HP laptops. Particularly, the button of a clickpad can be pressed and released without the fingers lifting off the clickpad/touchpad. So clicking a clickpad is different to tapping on a touchpad. I have two suggestions that might work on an EeePC: 1. [Alex's workaround] Touch each finger down at a slightly different time. This seems to bypass the gesture recognition and lets you do a good-old middle button tap. 2. Use the buttons on your touchpad - Pressing both at the same time should generate a middle click.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)
Daniel, Sorry for mixing up the clicking vs tapping aspect of this bug. You are right that they are different. I'm not sure yet what the best answer is for how to handle three touch clicking when three touch anything is grabbed by Unity. On your merge request, I simply haven't had time to do any of the things you requested, and I'm not sure I will anytime soon :(. The best thing I can offer is to have you try to replay the example recording I attached in the merge request that shows how there are issues when using my trackpad. I know you've had issues trying to replay it, but maybe you'll be able to figure it out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+subscriptions ___ 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

It seems a couple of duplicates of this bug, and Chase himself, are talking about 3-finger taps. Please note this bug is about 3-finger *clicks* on clickpads. Not 3-finger taps. ** Description changed: + Please note this bug is about physically clicking a clickpad. It is + not about 3-finger taps on regular touchpads. + as soon as i put down three fingers, the love handles appear. on the macbook pro a middle click is done with a 3 finger click. this is very low priority, and i could even see a wontfix. there's a simple work around to just not put all 3 fingers down at the same time and then click after all 3 are down. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+subscriptions ___ 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

Ian, You're right that taking three tap for paste away is a use case change, but it's not as big of a change as moving one response from one action to a different action. Another thing to note is that Ubuntu tries to cater to people who come from all environments. The X copy/paste functionality is sort of an oddity in desktop systems. It ends up confusing people who aren't used to it. An argument could be made that although it can be used effectively, making it less easy to use would not be very harmful to the majority of users. All these aspects have been weighed against the ability to add meaningful gesture use cases, and the design team at Canonical believes this is the best approach at this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+subscriptions ___ 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

No problem at all. It seems none of us realized we were talking about different things till now. I would still like to see the fix for this bug though to the end.
