Touchpad right click doesn't work (libinput and xorg)

Hi mates,

I have a Synaptics touchpad on a Toshiba I'm using under Gnome Xorg. Since a few weeks (maybe months, I usually use a usb mouse) right click button doesn't work, but two fingers tap works normally. If I press right click button it acts as left click. I have dual boot with windows 10 and right click button works normally on it.

I tried to downgrade libinput and xf86-input-libinput, and also log into a wayland session, but nothing of this worked. I'll continue using and xorg session, and I suppose I should edit some xorg configuration file for my mouse, but I don't know what do. Can you help me please?

My xinput list-props output:

$ xinput list-props 12

That's not a kernel issue, but GNOME being GNOME https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1776322
