Bug Description

CID: 201308-14057 Dell Inspiron 3135

The rightkey on the touchpad of this system does not work
But it works on 12.04.3 + 3.8 kernel

ubuntu@201308-14057:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]

According to the --list-props result, there is no physical button for right key.
ubuntu@201308-14057:~$ xinput --list-props 11 | grep Cap
 Synaptics Capabilities (276): 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1

The "enable-rightbutton.sh" script from wiki.ubuntu.com could make it work.

In xev, the click event of both of the left button and the right button could be detected as an event from "button 1"

However, in bug 1188025, right click event cannot be capture by xev at all
