Hi Alan, Finally, this just happened to me again. FWIW, I updated to snv_124 yesterday, and with no external mouse plugged in, I see the "(II) 3rd Button detected: disabling emulate3Button" line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log (full file attached).
I've been using the system for approx 1 hour so far, and only using the touchpad. What further diagnosis would I need before filing a bug?
