Sorry, I posted this reply from launchpad a while ago, but it seems to never have synced. This bug can probably be closed, the problem was in the ubuntu patches, not the upstream code, and it seems to be fixed in the version included in 12.04. I'll include the original comment below.
Original Comment: Yes, there is a log of the events from several triple taps here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input- synaptics/+bug/873482/+attachment/2544802/+files/input-events- oneiric.txt if you are curious, however, I do not believe the bug is in the upstream code. Ubuntu has a set of patches on top which tries to count the number of fingers in an event, ignoring in most cases what the kernel sends, but elantech devices do not send enough information for triple taps to register properly with this method. Sorry for the confusion. -- 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/873482 Title: elantech: Touchpad always reports 3 finger tap as 1 finger tap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/873482/+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
