Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

(I'm not sure this is a synaptic bug, sorry if I'm wrong)

My laptop have 2 rows of 3 click buttons. Better than a long
explanation, here is a picture: http://hpfansite.com/images/2008/12

It used to work well on Karmic and Lucid, but on Maverick (up to date
and also with the last daily-live) the middle button of each row now
perform a left click instead of a middle click (trust me, this is a huge
regression, especially when browsing the Web and when copy/pasting with
a middle clik).

I tried xev and it returns that both left and middle buttons send the "button 1" signal. Of course, the middle button send "button 2" on Lucid.
I plugged a mouse and it's middle click worked as expected. So this seems to be specific to build-in buttons.

This is an important bug for me as an Ubuntu enthusiast because all my
class mates (~200 students) have the same computer...
