I've figured out the proper way to permanently fix this issue using the documentation from here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
Create a file named mouse.fdi in your /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ directory: gksu gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse.fdi Then paste the following in there: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">false</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Now you need to unplug your mouse, then plug it back in again / restart your computer (restarting X I think may also work). Using "xinput -list", finding the number of your mouse (usually a number between 0 and 9, represented as <number>), then running: xinput set-int-prop <number> "Middle Button Timeout" 8 0 Also works, but will not remain if you unplug then replug in your mouse / restart your computer. So I recommend you use the mouse.fdi file above. -- Setting AutoAddDevices to false in xorg.conf is required in order to disable Emulate3Buttons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
