This is very unfortunate.
I do not want to set up xinput scripts for a simple definition I was once able
to just set. Besides, running :
xinput set-int-prop "Logitech Optical USB Mouse" "Emulate3Buttons" 32 0
Does not work. xinput support only integer and nor boolean datatypes anyway (I
tried with 8 and 16 too).
As I understand, the hal driven configuration doesn't even use the "mouse"
driver which accepts the Emulate3Buttons property, but the evdev one, which
does not. There is no clear explanation how can such a definition be set in
/etc/hal/fdi/, even not in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config.
All in all, there should be an accessible option for the average user,
like me, to turn off 3 buttons mouse emulation for the sake of playing
games, especially when he (like the vast majority of users) already have
a perfectly good 3 button mouse. I do not have to learn the hal object
model, the xinput syntax and the evdev API in order to do this. This
option was dropped in intrepid, and on that basis I beg to differ about
the closure of this bug.
