Ubuntu 12.04 not supporting touch pad's right click button problem

This is the solution if your touch pad is not working with Ubuntu 12.04.

1. You have to create a directory called xorg.conf.d in the X11 directory at etc system directory in Ubuntu. Follow the below terminal commands.

sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

2. Create 51.synaptics.conf file using the text editor including following instructions and place it in xorg.conf.d/

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Default clickpad buttons"
MatchDriver "synaptics"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection


3. I you are unable to create above file in that directory, create it in a possible place and move it to the destination. (Here I created the that file in home folder)

mv 51.synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

(Here mv for 'move' initial parameter is from where and second parameter is for to where.)

4. Log out and Log In to the account

That's all. Problem will be solved
