[Bug 666968] [NEW] Button 2 (middle) on touchpad works as button 1 (left)

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I have an old HP nw8240 laptop. My synaptics touchpad has 3 buttons
instead of the usual two. Ever since the upgrade to maverick the middle
buttons above and below my touchpad behave as a left click.

I tested what events were generated by running xev and indeed whenever
the middle button is pressed button 1 events show up. Interesting to
note is that my external mouse works fine.

1) Ubuntu release: 10.10/maverick meerkat

2) The version of the package: IDK which package the bug really belongs to, but my
xserver-xorg is at 1:7.5+6ubuntu3 and
xserver-xorg-core is at 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7 and
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is at 1.2.2-2ubuntu5.

3) What you expected to happen
Middle trackpad button to work as "button 2".

4) What happened instead
Middle trackpad button works as "button 1".
