Timo Aaltonen, thanks for your comment. Would you please advise as to what quirk precisely where would need to be put into place (i.e. technical detail)?
Also, would this need to be upstreamed along with a technical detail of the quirk? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535858 Title: Kensington Trackball EmulateMiddleButton disabled; only 2 buttons Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The Kensington Orbit Trackball is a USB device with two physical buttons, a scroll ring, and the ball. By default EmulateMiddleButton is disabled, but should be enabled as there is no third button. The only reason I'm reporting this is that I really really like this device - I've been searching for a good trackball most of my career, and this is the best I have found.
