    No right click on touchpad HP mini

    Since installing 11.10 On my wifes HP mini netbook there has been no right click or drag and drop. It all works with a mouse but, as my wife says, what good is the little netbook if you need to be carrying a bunch of other gadgets around just to get it functioning??

    I would love some help with this. Don't know enough myself. Will hand the wife over to the man with the first helping answer. I keep the netbook!!!

    right click is working, but you will have to tap with two fingers.

    Sorry for the 4 day bump but I'm trying to get used to 11.10 and was wondering if there's a way to right-click without tapping two fingers?

    There's nothing that I've found yet. I'm not so comfortable with it either.

    actually there is some hack for it which I once found in the threads, but it will disable edge scroll, IMHO the present situation is better than that.

    Well that's a start seeing as I can't scrolling down using my touchpad either so rather have right click then edge scroll.
