Public bug reported: The touchpad buttons don't work anymore after a recent system upgrade. Cursor movement and tap options are unaffected - I get left button functionality with a one-finger tap and right-button functionality with a two-finger tap. Scrolling also works.
Hardware is OK (dual-boot shows that). xev | grep -i button does not detect button presses, only if done by the tap on the touchpad: $ xev | grep -i button ButtonPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES ButtonPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES System is running x11, but wayland didn't make a difference. input: Synaptics s3203 as /devices/pci0000:00/INT33C3:00/i2c-8/i2c- DLL05E3:01/0018:06CB:2734.0002/input/input14 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.9.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.11.0-13.19-generic 4.11.12 Uname: Linux 4.11.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.6-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Tue Aug 15 12:59:26 2017 DistUpgraded: 2017-06-08 09:16:23,432 ERROR got error from PostInstallScript ./xorg_fix_proprietary.py (g-exec-error-quark: Kindprozess »./xorg_fix_proprietary.py« konnte nicht ausgeführt werden (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden) (8)) DistroCodename: artful DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-04-01 (136 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Beta amd64 (20170331) MachineType: Dell Inc.
