Public bug reported: This is related, but is not the same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/936341
this appeared only recently in the last 2 weeks, and it affects both the 3 finger (ClickFinger3) and the 2 finger (ClickFInger2) settings now, by default this is the output of synclient: ClickFinger1 = 1 ClickFinger2 = 3 ClickFinger3 = 0 this is wrong: there's not reason to disable ClickFinger3 while leaving enabled ClickFinger2 (and maybe this is the cause for bug 936341) if both ClickFInger2 & 3 would've been disabled, that'd have been a change in behaviour that should be documented but now, by changing any of the ClickFinger settings (any of the 1,2 or 3) the setting is ignored and it generates a button1 event for all of these, regardless of it I found this thread in the ubuntu-devel mailing list https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-February/034852.html what I'm referring to with "ClickFinger" there seems to be called "click actions", it appears that this change may be the cause of this bug, but Chase Douglas writes: "There are no changes for devices that have separate physical buttons." Instead, I'm stumbling onto this problem on a old macbook3,1 with a physical button (synclient correctly reports the ClickPad set at 0) This is quite a problem, since on these devices you can't enable the right click zone like on the ClickPads (this led me to use an external mice in the last days) I'm not sure if this is an unintended consequence on old machine with a non-clickpad synaptic touchpad, or if this is expected if it's the latter, aside from documenting it on the wiki, I think that then the ClickFinger options should be removed, if truly the ClickPad changes makes them unusable ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.5.99.901-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-19.30-generic 3.2.11 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-19-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDmesg: [ 125.480542] init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (6216) terminated with status 1 Date: Wed Mar 21 13:06:06 2012 DistUpgraded: 2012-01-20 16:19:39,336 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: precise DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64+mac (20111012) MachineType: Apple Inc.
