[Bug 676898] [NEW] Middle mouse button doesn't work

 

Public bug reported:

In previous versions of Ubuntu, my HP Compaq 8710P middle button worked
on both below my trackpad and below my pointing stick ("nipple"
pointer).

In Maverick it doesn't.

I had a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10051070

Here is "xinput list | grep 'id='"  (with the Virtual Core pointer bits,
the rest removed

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	                id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad              	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse                      	        id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]

"xinput get-button-map 10"
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

"xinput test 10"
button press   1         //Left click
button release 1         //Left click
button press   1         //Middle click
button release 1         //Middle click
button press   3         //Right click
button release 3         //Right click
