Sojourner, did you find a changelog that relates to this bug? I was just looking and I couldn't find anything that sounded related within Ubuntu, though it could be something upstream. (I haven't looked there yet).
If you still have that change and version number handy, I'm sure it would help to figure out what is wrong and resolve it :) ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev Since the update of xserver-xorg-input-evdev version 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu1, - the middle mouse button no longer functions in Natty. I have since - upgraded to version 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu3, but the middle mouse button still - fails to function. + middle mouse button emulation (left and right click together) no longer + triggers a middle click in Natty. I have since upgraded to version + 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu3, but the middle mouse button still fails to function. A workaround is to add the following section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but workaround should not be necessary to provide standard X11 functionality. Section "InputClass" Identifier "middle button emulation class" MatchIsPointer "on" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" EndSection 1) Release: 11.04 2) Package version xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu3 3) Expect middle mouse button to perform Past action 4) Middle mouse button fails to operate ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-1.28-generic 2.6.38-rc2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-1-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.version: - NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 260.19.29 Wed Dec 8 12:09:09 PST 2010 - GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-2ubuntu1) + NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 260.19.29 Wed Dec 8 12:09:09 PST 2010 + GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-2ubuntu1) Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Jan 31 10:48:53 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: - nvidia-current, 260.19.29, 2.6.38-1-generic, i686: installed - nvidia-current, 260.19.29, 2.6.37-12-generic, i686: installed + nvidia-current, 260.19.29, 2.6.38-1-generic, i686: installed + nvidia-current, 260.19.29, 2.6.37-12-generic, i686: installed GraphicsCard: - + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20110125) MachineType: Shuttle Inc SB83V10 ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_US:en - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-1-generic root=UUID=756673fd-3f0d-437f-92cf-b590e2c5c6c0 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-input-evdev UnitySupportTest: - + dmi.bios.date: 07/13/2005 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD dmi.bios.version: 6.00 PG dmi.board.name: FB83V10 dmi.board.vendor: Shuttle Inc dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologies,LTD:bvr6.00PG:bd07/13/2005:svnShuttleInc:pnSB83V10:pvr:rvnShuttleInc:rnFB83V10:rvr:cvn:ct3:cvr: dmi.product.name: SB83V10 dmi.sys.vendor: Shuttle Inc version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10-1ubuntu1 version.nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-graphics-drivers N/A version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.5+6ubuntu8 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.13.2+git20110124.fadee040-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau N/A -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710762 Title: Middle mouse button no longer works -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
