In this case, a *click* means you have a clickpad which itself is one big button that can be depressed and makes a clicking sound. Like on an Apple Macbook, Magic Trackpad, or some HP laptops. Particularly, the button of a clickpad can be pressed and released without the fingers lifting off the clickpad/touchpad. So clicking a clickpad is different to tapping on a touchpad.
I have two suggestions that might work on an EeePC: 1. [Alex's workaround] Touch each finger down at a slightly different time. This seems to bypass the gesture recognition and lets you do a good-old middle button tap. 2. Use the buttons on your touchpad - Pressing both at the same time should generate a middle click. Run "man synaptics" for more info on that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) Status in Mactel Support: Invalid Status in Unity: Opinion Status in uTouch: Invalid Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: as soon as i put down three fingers, the love handles appear. on the macbook pro a middle click is done with a 3 finger click. this is very low priority, and i could even see a wontfix. there's a simple work around to just not put all 3 fingers down at the same time and then click after all 3 are down. Please note this bug is about physically "clicking" a clickpad with 3 fingers. 3 finger tapping is different and has been intentionally overridden in Unity 3D by new gestures.
