http://ubuntuforums.org – In relation to another post I made here, I've noticed with the upgrade to Karmic that the click style has changed somewhat for my Synaptics touchpad. I've discovered that the change is system-wide and not limited to Firefox. Until now, a two-finger tap on my tab was equivalent to a middle-click. Now, a three-finger tap is the middle-click and a two-finger tap is a right click. Does anyone know how to permanently change this behavior? The two-finger tap has been a default middle-click on a Synaptics touchpad for as long as I've been using laptops with them, and I'd rather stick with what I'm comfortable using. I thought I'd be able to open xorg.conf and change some settings, but much to my surprise, xorg.conf is apparently a thing of the past. Code: zero@zero-laptop:~$ xinput list [other, seemingly unrelated hardware listed] "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" id=7 [XExtensionPointer] Type is TOUCHPAD Num_buttons is 12 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is 1472 Max_value is 5472 Resolution is 1 Axis 1 : Min_value is 1408 Max_value is 4448 Resolution is 1 EDIT: I would also like to note that the correct device is identified by the system and it does respond to tapping and all inputs - just not the way it always has nor the way I want it to continue to. I'm not sure when or why this change was implemented, but I would like to return to old (familiar) behavior. (Hardware)
