+ === Enabling right button click for clickpads on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ===
+ 
+ Ubuntu 12.04 LTS added support for clickpads. The buttons are pressed by pressing the surface of the trackpad itself. All known clickpads, with the exception of the Apple Magic Trackpad, have indications on the trackpad for where the left and right buttons are. Clicking in the right button area should cause a right button click action. However, right button click support was added too late in the 12.04 LTS development cycle to be enabled by default. It is enabled by default in Ubuntu 12.10 and on.
+ 
+ Fortunately, the right click functionality is present and working in the release. It simply needs to be enabled. The attached [[attachment:enable-rightbutton.sh]] script may be used to simplify the process. After downloading the script, execute the following:
+ 
+ {{{
+ $ chmod a+x enable-rightbutton.sh
+ $ ./enable-rightbutton.sh <device id|device name>
+ }}}
+ 
+ Be sure to use the device id or name of your specific trackpad. You can list the devices on your computer using the "xinput" command.

  If the features of your Touchpad (like Tapping, Scrolling) do '''not''' work at all. In this case, user will not see the '''Touchpad''' Tab in System>Administration>Mouse in Main menu. This means that Touchpad is misdetected as PS/2 mouse. Here the following workflow must be followed.
