Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I'm using: Ubuntu 10.10 beta, xserver-
Hardware Asus K50IN laptop, with multitouch-touchpad
What I expected to happen:
I expected two-finger tap to produce a middleclick event, and three-finger tap to produce a rightclick event
What happened instead:
two-finger tap produces a rightclick event, three finger tap produces a middleclick event. Two-finger scrolling however, still works perfectly fine with two fingers.
It's almost impossible to do a three-finger tap on a small touchpad, and as most laptops don't have a "hardware" button for middleclick, this makes it very hard to make a middleclick (my second-most used mousebutton) with the touchpad.
What I tried to fix it myself:
I tried to change the mousebutton mapping from 123 etc. to 132 etc. This works for the touchpad, but it also changes the "hardware" buttons under the touchpad and every other mouse. This is no option.
I forgot to mention: I've got this problem since upgrading to Maverick Alpha. On Lucid, the mapping was perfectly fine.
