I've upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 but the ability to tap with three fingers on the touchpad to achieve a middle mouse click has disappeared. When a mouse is plugged in the middle button click works exactly as expected.
I've tried similar approaches to: Swapping the double and triple finger tap actions on trackpad and using $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true
but still nothing works.
I'm using an asus ul-30a which is typically well supported under linux. I'm using gnome-shell but the problem also occurs when using unity.
Could anyone advise how to fix the triple tap please?
EDIT: I've also tried installing the kde package synaptiks and setting the button functions and this also has no effect

Just found an amazing thing:
Taping on the top right corner of the touchpad is like clicking the middle mouse button. I know it's not the same as the triple click and position accuracy is needed :( but it's the closest I could find to triple click.
BTW, clicking on the lower right corner is like clicking the the right mouse button.
