Public bug reported: In previous versions of Ubuntu, my HP Compaq 8710P middle button worked on both below my trackpad and below my pointing stick ("nipple" pointer).
In Maverick it doesn't. I had a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10051070 Here is "xinput list | grep 'id='" (with the Virtual Core pointer bits, the rest removed ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] "xinput get-button-map 10" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 "xinput test 10" button press 1 //Left click button release 1 //Left click button press 1 //Middle click button release 1 //Middle click button press 3 //Right click button release 3 //Right click ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 260.19.06 Mon Sep 13 04:29:19 PDT 2010 GCC version: gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Nov 18 11:39:06 2010 DkmsStatus: vboxhost, 3.2.10: added nvidia-current, 260.19.06, 2.6.35-22-generic, x86_64: installed ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/Xorg GdmLog2: Error: command ['cat', '/var/log/gdm/:0.log.2'] failed with exit code 1: cat: /var/log/gdm/:0.log.2: No such file or directory InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq 8710p (GC102EA#ACQ) PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card Socket 1: 3.3V 16-bit PC Card Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "pata_pcmcia" ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=f6af002e-b4b2-45df-9fb8-4b5f07b6ed56 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: LANG=en_ZA.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SourcePackage: xorg-server dmi.bios.date: 11/29/2007 dmi.bios.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.bios.version: 68MAD Ver.
