[SOLVED] Touchpad (ALPS) right click button not working.

I recently updated my system after quite some time, and the right click button on my touchpad isn't working anymore. Everything else seems to be working - tap to click, left click button, and scrolls, except for the right click button.
Its working under Windows, so the hardware is fine.

Kernel 3.17.2-1-ARCH x64.

$: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf 

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "2"
        Option "TapButton3" "3"
	Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
	Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
EndSection

    ClickPad                = 0

EDIT: This is the type of touchpad, one with physical buttons.

EDIT2: Removed xorg.log section. I was looking in the wrong place in /var/log (logs are in .local/share/xorg).

Re: [SOLVED] Touchpad (ALPS) right click button not working.

Downgrading kernel to 3.16.3-1 (last working config) fixed the issue.
Seems similar to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189680

Would a mod kindly move this to Kernel & Hardware forum?
