Subject: [Bug 432814] Re: Action for middle and right click is reversed since   jaunty

Just upgraded to 9.10 and discovered this bug. Since the source code fix
posted a couple of weeks ago looks pretty simple, might we see it pushed
out in an update soonish?

Reading the forums & blogs, it looks like the move from hal to udev made
this behavior non-configurable (in addition to being wrong). That's a
shame.

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

LSB version = karmic
Package version = 1.1.2-1ubuntu5

Expected behaviour:
Tap the touchpad with 2 fingers simultaneously to generate middle-click event. Tap with 3 fingers for right-click event.

Observed behaviour:
A 2-finger tap generates a right-click event and a 3-finger tap generates a middle-click event.


Looking at the changelog for 1.1.2-1ubuntu1 I see this:
"105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Swap the right/middle clicks generated by multi-finger tapping."
This patch is then reverted in 1.1.2-1ubuntu2:
"105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Drop patch as it breaks the expected behavior for multitouch clicking (LP: #320585)."

However, I still experience the behaviour introduced in -1ubuntu1. Hopefully I can help get the expected behaviour back in time for karmic's release.
