It's enabled by default, the way to shut it off has changed and the old
method no longer works. So if anyone needs to disable this 'feature' -
it likely requires hours of their time googling to fix it. Very smart
move!
To fix this issue:
sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/disable-emulate3buttons.fdi
and enter:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">no</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="integer">4 5</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
It requires a reboot or logout/login to activate. After activating,
Ubuntu users playing World of Warcraft can finally move their character
forward again! Hurray.
Devs: do you think making this silly option on by default is wise? Do
you think its easy for your users to turn it off? I've had a look at the
mouse options in the System > Preferences menu, and it has shitloads of
useless options. Not adding this option to the existing GUI is a
profound mistake. Many users may think its a wine bug and have to rely
on keyboard input instead. FIX THIS.
