I have recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my brand new ASUS K55V.



The touchpad behaves weird - two finger tap is interpreted as right-click, click and drag is not working (a double click is needed) and so on. Two finger scrolling (horizontal & vertical) works great.



I want the touch pad to behave the "normal" way (that is - like in my old laptop...). I read the synclient documentation and many of the questions posted here, and I can even make some stuff work. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to make these work:




  1. Click and drag (that is - physically clicking the button and dragging a finger)

  2. Clicking in the right side of the button interpreted as right-click

  3. Clicking button with two fingers interpreted as middle-click.



specs: The touchpad is equipped with a physical button that clicks. Here's the output of xinput list-props "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" | grep Capabilities:



 Synaptics Capabilities (294):  1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1


Any help will be much appreciated.

The solution:




  1. Enable the ClickPad option in synaptics (terminal command: $ synclient Clickpad=1)


  2. Mess with the SoftButton options. The instructions here describe the steps well.


  3. Either by altering the SoftButton configuration as above, or by changing the ClickFinger2 option, as suggested by @kmassada (or both)
