Stripped Patches + shell script to batch patch (Version 0.9)
Man, this guy is a genius!
I have updated to version 0.9 of the patch (the archive now has a
versioned patch directory, versioned shell script to apply and one to
remove the patches) and my middle mouse button is back.
xinput output now looks like this:
------------
AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
Reporting 3 classes:
Class originated from: 13
Buttons supported: 12
Button labels: Button Left Button Middle Button Right Button
Wheel Up Button Wheel Down Button Horiz Wheel Left Button Horiz Wheel Right
None None None None None
Button state:
Class originated from: 13
Detail for Valuator 0:
Label: Rel X
Range: 0.000000 - 2000.000000
Resolution: 0 units/m
Mode: relative
Class originated from: 13
Detail for Valuator 1:
Label: Rel Y
Range: 0.000000 - 1400.000000

See? "Button Middle" is back! :)

Ah! It is a very good idea to have this patch in the tree. Personally I
see three reasons:
1.: Without this patch you have to manually apply the old patch (but kernel.org
is down!) to have the touchpad at least to be recognized as an IMPS/2 Mouse,
meaning the whole system is unaware that this is a touchpad at all.
2.: Without this patch, starting synaptiks makes no sense whatsoever, as
neither synclient nor synaptics can *see* the touchpad.
3.: With this patch in the tree, and maybe some advertisement, we could get
more users to test it. Maybe it makes us being able to help Seth Forshee
<[email protected]>, the author of the patch, to further improve it?
