Unfortunately, this does not work, at least with my EeePC/Elantech touchpad and Precise/Unity2D. Besides, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is abandoned. The new way is putting a new file into the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory which I did using the section above. The X-server reads it and sets the options correctly as can be seen in the Xorg.0.log. But when the system is up, synclient -l shows that the TapButton3 option has been reset to 0 (the ClickFinger3 option is kept, though). It seems that Unity resets it on start. The solution is to add a new entry to the startup applications (System - Preferences - Startup Applications) with any name and the command "synclient TapButton3=2". This way, the option is set AFTER Unity is up, the setting persists, and triple-tap->middle-click works again as it used to do before the Unity makers decided to take it away ... -- 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/971783 Title: 3 touch taps and clicks are broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/971783/+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
