Thomas A.'s questions

in Ubuntu 10.10 I really don't want any password on resume on my EeePC, so I have to run

gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend false

and I want two finger middle click, so I have to run

xinput set-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" "Synaptics Tap Action" 8, 9, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3 (that gpointingdevice package can't do anything for me)

Those work, but only until the next resume. For some strange reason Ubuntu always overrides these changes.

I put both commands into a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ , but even then after resumes the changes are gone.

Where is this strange behavior coming from? And how do I make those changes permanent?

it used to be that tapping two fingers on the touchpad send a middle mouse click. Now it does a right click and three fingers now are the middle click. I really can't understand the change and think it is a bug or badly copied from Apple or something. The reasoning escapes me totally. I use middle click to open links in a new tab in the browser all day and I rarely use right click (and I have a right mouse button below the touchpad, doh) Tapping three fingers on my tiny EeePC touchpad is next to impossible so I want the old behavior. I found:

synclient TapButtons2=2
synclient TapButtons3=3

but that did not work on 10.10

Does anyone know how to restore sane behavior?
