Worked like a charm! Appreciate, tomkear2006

Works on HP Mini 210, 32-bit Lubuntu. Thanks!
Any chance this could go into the build? While the patch is most appreciated, it would be less frustrating if we didn't have to look for it here...

I'd be very pleased if it made it into the main Linux Kernel, but I'm not sure of a few things:
1) If it breaks mouse functionality on any other hardware.
2) How to go about submitting the patch for review/acceptance.

Re: Ubuntu 12.04 lts Hp touchpad right click problem
Hi,
This patch works on my HP DM-1 touchpad in making right click available but it seems as if my touchpad is devided into 3 areas horizontally so that when I click the pad in the first third I get a left button response, 2nd third middle button and last third right button. This makes it difficult to use as I frequently get a middle button response when I want left. For example it closes tabs in firefox rather than selecting it (annoying as this is the exact opposite of what I want! ;-). I have tried vaious settings for:
TapButton1
TapButton2
TapButton3
ClickFinger1
ClickFinger2
ClickFinger3
SoftButtonAreas
But nothing seems to change the way this is layed out. What I want is to have the button areas at the bottom of the pad clearly the left and right click areas and then when I click anywhere else I get a left click response.
Has any one else seen this? Any tips?
Thanks

Hi earthwormgym,
That is exactly how the patch is working, its taking the width of the pad from the firmware, taking the left section as the left button, right section as the right button and anything in the middle as the middle button. However it should be divided vertically, not horizontally so I'm not sure what's happening there!?

1. Download the attached file to your computers desktop
2. sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential
3. cd ~/Desktop
4. tar jxvf psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae.tar.bz2
5. sudo mv psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae /usr/src
6. cd /usr/src
7. sudo chmod -R a+rx psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae
8. sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
9. sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
10. sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
11. sudo modprobe -r psmouse
12. sudo modprobe psmouse
13. sudo dkms status
The output of the last command should look similar to this (with no errors):
"psmouse, 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, i686: installed"
No need to restart the computer as the driver is now loaded and the mouse should be working, including the hardware right button.
Thanks for the share. This worked for me!

Thanks for getting back to me. It's devided up vertically not horizontally as I first said.
What I'd like ideally is to only have the buttons section devided into left and right buttons (no middle button) and have the rest of the pad as a left button. Failing that just being able to get rid of the middle button would be good. Is there any way to configure how it is devided?
