[SOLVED] Dell Inspiron 5590 - Touchpad right button doesn't work

Hi,
I already posted a problem with audio for my Dell Inspiron 5590, but there is a second minor problem it will be great to fix it.

On this Dell Inspiron 5590 I have a fresh install with GDM and Gnome.

The annoying problem is with Touchpad: the left button works, the right not. Of course a turnaround is to use an external mouse, but it will great if someone can help me fix the right button of the Touchpad.

Thanks for the help

Enrico

Is it a physical button or is it one of those silly tilting touchpads? In the latter case try

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'areas'

It can also be done through one of the configuration GUIs, if you can be bothered navigating your way through the click maze.
