please let me know if there's other info needed and i'll happily
provide it
either:
etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/...
Section "InputClass"
...
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "25"
The time is in milliseconds; you might want to adjust it.
Or you can try synclient, which should take
synclient Tapbutton2=2 Tapbutton3=3

Thanks for this. I think it's getting close to the right answer, but on
my freshly installed buster, i haven't got the directory structure that
