I found a workaround by installing the libinput driver. I did the following:
Remove the synaptics driver: sudo aptitude purge xsever-xorg-input-synaptics Make sure the configuration file is gone sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf Install the libinput driver and tools sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-input-libinput libinput-tools Restart the x-server The libinput driver should autoconfigure. Also, the KDE system settings can work with libinput, you might for instance want to enable Tapping. There are a lot of settings on the Synaptics driver that are not available on the libinput driver, so your mileage may vary. I'm not using most of them so for now I'm going to see what will happen when I use the libinput driver. -- 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/1577045 Title: right click on touchpad registers as left click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1577045/+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
