I can confirm this problem for a Samsung Series 7. I found a partial solution for this.
Check if the ClickPad option is on (synclient -l | grep ClickPad). You can set it with: synclient ClickPad=1. Then you need to tell the areas that should be considered as right or middle mouse botton. With synclient RightButtonAreaLeft=1500 RightButtonAreaTop=1700. It seems to be not necessary to set the lower and right borders. You can find the info on the "coordinate system" of the pad in /var/log/Xorg.0.log So far I was not able to set the area for the middle button. I get an error from synclient telling me that the value is wrong.... I also can not set the options in xorg.conf. The RightBottonArea* options seemt to be ignored. So currently I set the options by calling synclient in .profile . I consider the following to things as bug: - the ClickPad option should be set automatically. - The Area Options are not recognized in xorg.conf -- 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/947354 Title: Synaptics Soft Button Areas not working in HP Envy 14 Clickpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/947354/+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
