Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on a System 76 laptop, with a two
button built-in touch-pad (built into the laptop just below the
keyboard). When I click to drag or resize a window there is a half
second delay, which annoyingly, causes me to fail to drag or resize the
window. What should I do

Title:
Middle mouse button no longer works
To manage
I have a Microsoft PS/2 mouse with track wheel. After upgrading from
Ubuntu 9.10 to Lubuntu 11.10, I had to apply the evdev Emulate3Buttons
change to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to get the middle button back.
There you go ... sameo sameo for Oneiric. Strongly agree with a
substantial fix, aka
BTW:
# grep -i mouse /var/log/udev
KERNEL[13.617528] add /module/psmouse (module)
DEVPATH=/module/psmouse
KERNEL[13.673889] add /bus/serio/drivers/psmouse (drivers)
DEVPATH=/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse
UDEV [13.921057] add /module/psmouse (module)

I use a laptop, it has a synaptics trackpad, and there is no middle
button emulation. I think a GUI way to turn it off/on is necessary.

Title:
I have a Logitech Revolution MX on both my home and work PCs (both
running Natty x64). The mouse wheel is not a button, it lets me switch
between normal scrolling and super fast, low friction scrolling.
Just because 2 button mice are hard to come by doesn't mean people don't
need to have this
I had this issue. The workaround provided me a solution.
But this is unbeliveable to see that bug is not fixed since the beggining of
this year !

On oneiric it's enough to run:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-
enabled true
that'll make it persistent for the current user, and you can argue about
adding it to the mouse and touchpad settings GUI by filing a bug
against gnome-control-center.
The evdev
I agree with comment #13 - middle clicking on a mouse's scroll wheel is
quite difficult and clicking left+right buttons together is easier.
Some mice are worse than others for this (some have too little wheel
resistance), but all of them require more care to click on the wheel
(without scrolling
I've just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and the traditional select-and-
paste of X no longer works. This is to say that I can not hold down the
right button to select something then paste it else where with the
middle button (the middle button is simulated by pressing both the left
and right mouse
Simulation used to work nicely for Logitech V450 before 11.04 (in V450
middle click is activated by clicking buttons 6 and 7 simultaneously by
pressing the tilting wheel), is it possible to re-enable this behavior
through xorg.conf or any other way? Wheel click is much more convenient,
than trying
If you have a touchpad using the synaptics driver, then you still have
emulation by default. Only the evdev driver default got changed.
In 11.10 there will probably be a GUI for this once the GNOME 3.0 bits

i have 11.04 final, and my middle button doesnt work after a clean
ubuntu installation (if i upgrade from 10.10 it work)

Title:
Middle mouse
Editing xorg.conf should really never be the only solution for such a
rudimentary accessibility feature. As #6 and #11 point out, there are
actually a lot of two-button mice out there; on nearly every laptop and
netbook sold the past 15 years the track-pad includes only a left and a
right mouse
Even supposedly 3-button mice need the emulation. The typical generic
ones detect the middle mouse by a click on the scroll wheel. Usually
this is very clumsy, making the emulation much easier to use.

So two claims here and in the Natty Known Issues list that 2 button
mice are quite rare or not very common. Yet the point made by an
earlier poster is ignored - nearly all laptops (except Macs) have only
two buttons. I understand that most developers may use a desktop machine
or a mouse connected
I agree, especially since middle-click is going to be an important
feature in Unity as a shortcut to open new instances of an application,
there needs to be support for trackpad users. Like a lot of laptop
users, I never sit at a desk and hook up a mouse. At the very least, an
entry should be

I've discussed this with some of the other Ubuntu-X guys, and we've
decided not to revert upstream's change. 2-button mice do not seem to
be very common, and it appears to be feasible for us to add special-case
quirks via udev for particular ones that people want to have work.
Thus, this
Peter is a Redhat employee, so doubt that Fedora will change it.
Likewise, Debian sticks to the defaults so they are not going to change
it either, which means that we shouldn't.

The vast majority of laptops only have two buttons next to the trackpad,
won't this will effect everyone who doesn't connect an external three
button mouse?

I think we need to consider this a bit deeper. There is still hardware
in the wild that appears to need this emulated functionality to do
middle mouse button clicking, for example:

when a change is made to basic behavior like this it should be widely
announced not just buried in a change log somewhere and preferably it
should be discussed with the community first .

Sojourner, did you find a changelog that relates to this bug? I was just
looking and I couldn't find anything that sounded related within Ubuntu,
though it could be something upstream. (I haven't looked there yet).
If you still have that change and version number handy, I'm sure it
would help to
Okay, this was indeed an intentional upstream change in xf86-input-
evdev. The changelog happens to carry some reasoning, too:
