I have installed CentOS 6.5 on a Lenovo Thinkpad W541. After installation, I noticed that the buttons above the touchpad do not behave the same as left and right mouse buttons. Instead, they would cause the current window to scroll up or down. I looked through the device settings in XInput and found that issuing these commands:
xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Button Scrolling" 0, 0
xinput set-button-map "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 1 3
turned off the scrolling and made the right button bring up contextual menus but the left button does not behave exactly like a mouse left button. It seems to act like a left button double click. I can't use the program that I need to for work without plugging in a usb mouse. This is fine when I am at my desk but not when working in the field. Is there any way to configure the behavior of these buttons?
Thanks,
Randy
