I've discussed this with some of the other Ubuntu-X guys, and we've decided not to revert upstream's change. 2-button mice do not seem to be very common, and it appears to be feasible for us to add special-case quirks via udev for particular ones that people want to have work.
Thus, this particular general request to revert upstream's change I'm closing as a WONTFIX, and I have documented the process for bug reporters to file to request special enablement of their hardware, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#2-button%20Mice - if people find these directions incomplete, please update the wiki to clarify. So in summary, if you have a 2-button mouse with this problem, please file a new bug for that specific HW. See the above link for directions. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- 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
