Public bug reported:
I installed the latest build of Ubuntu 11.10 today on my Macbook air and
although my trackpad has the ability to right click in OS X it doesn't
work in Ubuntu. I have to plug an external mouse in to get it working
which makes the install effectively useless as I don't want to carry a
mouse around with me. By default on Mac OS X there is no right click but
it can be turned on in the trackpad configuration options, so I know it
is possible. There are 2 options to fixing this as far as I can see, one
is to enable the right click to happen when pressing down on the right
side of the trackpad and/or implement a secondary click by pressing the
left ctrl or cmd key and click like in Mac OS X. This will then provide
a familiar interface for Mac users when making the move to Ubuntu making
the transition easier. This is quite critical as it is the only thing
that is really stopping this install being perfect as it works
exceptionally well on my Macbook Air other than that!
