Ubuntu – Right click doesn’t work on HP mini 210 touchpad

10.10hardwarehptouchpadubuntu-netbook

Need help in getting the right mouse click to work on a HP mini 210-1015TU when using the touchpad.

If I plug in a USB mouse, both left click and right click function as normal. Using the touchpad however I can only get the left click to work. Attempting to right click gives the result expected from a left click. As per some comments on a forum I added a file 11-touchpad.conf to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. I can provide further details if required.

This made touchpad operation noticeably smoother but the problem with the right mouse click remains. Not a hardware problem as right clicked worked with 10.04 and still works with Windows 7 starter. 10.10 installed using wubi.

Best Answer

is that i'm going to input:

sudo su (Enter your password)

echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe
reboot

p/s: since i'm a newbie, i need to confirm the command to solve my problem at hp mini 210-1073TU.
