Bug Description

Hi,

On ASUS K451 laptop, middle click or 3 finger-tap does not work natively.

There is no middle button on touchpad, so I am trying to emulate the middle click.

I followed these instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#A2-button_Mice , but it did not work:

1. Create a file named /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/middle-mouse-button.conf with the following contents:

 Section "InputClass"
     Identifier "middle button emulation class"
     MatchIsPointer "on"
     Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
 EndSection

2. If you use GNOME 3 or Unity, an additional step is needed. Execute the following command
    gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true
Otherwise, GNOME 3's settings will override X's.

Step 2 returned:
 key « middle-button-enabled » doesn't exist
