Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I'm using: Ubuntu 10.10 beta, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.2.2-2ubuntu5
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.
