Jul 26, 2011 3:22 PM in response to Adam Honoréby applefandan,At this time, I do not believe there is a fix for your issue. However, I urge you to visit http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html to request this feature.

Jul 26, 2011 3:27 PM in response to applefandanby Adam Honoré,Well.. There is a solution. As it works if you just upgrade the OS, and don't do a fresh install.
I just need to locate the preference file, and get someone to upload theirs.
I've been looking through the ~/Library/Preferences/*.plist files, but no luck so far.

Try go to "system pref" and then "trackpad" there you can select to enable right mouse click.

Jul 26, 2011 11:03 PM in response to Adam Honoréby Sir Allan,I also have this problem, It is quite annoying.
It worked well before I touched the setting, guess it stored it from my SL Install.

Jul 26, 2011 11:20 PM in response to Sir Allanby Sir Allan,I think I found the file we need:
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.plist
When I get home I will find a Time Machine version of this file and check what needs to be done!

Jul 27, 2011 9:37 AM in response to Sir Allanby Adam Honoré,Already tried it, didn't work.
Kinda makes sense, as it is only for bluetooth trackpad, not the built-in one..

Jul 27, 2011 2:05 PM in response to Adam Honoréby Sir Allan,But it gets updated when I change my settings, got to find the real file then.

Jul 28, 2011 6:46 AM in response to Sir Allanby DJ Art,That is the real actual file you're looking for, I think. It just doesn't work this way (by editing) or perhaps it needs a log out/in after editing it (haven't tried that though).
BUT, I've found a similar thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189974
So, using the System Preferences GUI, firstly set Trackpad Secondary click for the bottom right corner, then using Terminal run the following command:
defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool YES
Then log out and back in and voila!
(now if you check that file in ~/Library/Preferences, it got updated as we want it to).

Jul 28, 2011 11:09 PM in response to DJ Artby Sir Allan,That worked! :-)
Thanks, I did logout when I edited the file bt did not seem to work at all :-(
