dell-vostromousetouchpad

I'm using Dell Vostro 3568 model, recently installed ubuntu 17.04. My touch-pad left and right click working same way.

If left radio button selected in my settings( All Settings->Mouse & Touchpad->General->Primary button) then left and right click behaving like left click always no matter even I clicked left or right.

If right radio button selected in my settings( All Settings->Mouse & Touchpad->General->Primary button) then left and right click behaving like Right click always no matter even I clicked left or right.

Can some one help me to get this fixed, please?? Thanks in advance.

Left settings

Right settings

First add the line Option "ClickPad" "true" to the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf so that the final output looks like:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "ClickPad" "true"
EndSection

Then reboot the system. Right click should work fine now.
