How do I get my right- and middle-click back?

I just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04.1 on my Macbook 7,1 and the first thing I noticed was that I couldn't right-click by clicking on the clickpad with two fingers, or middle-click by clicking with three, as I had been. According to everywhere, there's now "better clickpad support" but the only thing I see is that things have stopped working. How can I get things back to the way they were? Note that I do not want to right-click by clicking on the bottom-right area of the clickpad.

I solved this problem by using synclient.

synclient ClickPad=0 # Even though I'm using a clickpad, this

                     # setting inhibits multi-finger click.

synclient ClickFinger3=2 # Add the 3-finger click in order to

                         # middle click.

Everything now works as it should.
