Public bug reported: I have two identical spec NP900X4C laptops. On one I installed 12.10, on the other 12.04.
On 12.10 the touchpad works fine, including right-click. On 12.04 the touchpad works fine, EXCEPT for right-click. The standard settings options do not correct this problem. I tried following the Enabling right button click instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection however the enable- rightbutton.sh script bailed out claiming the right-click area was not defined. The issue is also simpler than the mixture of problems reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933707 I therefore used xinput list-props on both devices to compare the settings for the touchpad. I discovered that on 12.04 "Synaptics Soft Button Areas" is set to all 0s, whereas on 12.10 it has specific settings. I therefore applied the following command and the right-button immediately worked fine. I opened this bug so that the correct setting for this model of touchpad can be included in the standard 12.04 package. xinput set-prop <device-id> <property-id> 1630, 0, 1871, 0, 0, 0, 0,0 Kernel version: 3.2.0-35-generic xserver-xorg-input-synaptics version: 1.6.2-1ubuntu1~precise2 Touchpad spec from /proc/input/bus/devices: I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=000e Version=0000 N: Name="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event6 B: PROP=5 B: EV=b B: KEY=e420 10000 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=661800011000003 ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1094451 Title: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad right-click does not work on Samsung NP900X4C, 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1094451/+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
