[Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)

 

I agree NachoR. I'm not sure if the touchpad issue is the same as this
clickpad issue.

Because I've tried using gnome-shell and kubuntu. 3 finger tap doesn't
work with either of them! In kubuntu I could get middle click working
because by default kubuntu has middle click assigned to 2 fingers, but
if I change it to 3 fingers it doesn't work. Any action assigned to 3
fingers in ubuntu 11.10 and its derivities does nothing at all. This is
a big problem.

I also tried using xinput via the command line to swap the 2 finger and
3 finger actions. As with kubuntu middle click worked when assigned to 2
fingers, but right click (now assigned to 3) no longer worked. I have an
asus u52f with a ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad (uses synaptics driver).

Should there be a seperate bug filed for this? I've noticed basically
every bug relating to 3 finger tap not working is marked as a duplicate
for this bug.
