[Bug 1246683] Re: Middle button does not work for scrolling

 

This bug is flagged as "incomplete".

What information is missing to confirm the bug?

The problem is well defined, there is a confirmed duplicate/parallel bug
for xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.

The proposed patch appears to work fine for all thinkpads with clickpad.

What is the solution for this issue? Does the patch have to be included
in the upstream code xserver-xorg-input-evdev, or should a dedicated
package be built and included in the official repositories?

Should we create a dedicated ppa for thinkpads, which makes it easy for
new users to make their thinkpad work?
