[ASUS X202E] Unable to set third button emulation on Atmel touchscreen

[Balazs Pere]

My machine is ASUS X202E. It has an Atmel maXTouch Digitizer. I modified /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf to add the following options to the touchscreen section:

        Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
        Option "EmulateThirdButtonButton" "3"
        Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"
        Option "EmulateThirdButtonThreshold" "50"

and restarted X. Running xinput list-props shows that these properties are indeed set for the Atmel touchscreen device. However, when I touch and hold my finger in the same spot on the screen, nothing happens!
