Ok, this sounds like a problem that I have seen, normally only after
unplugging an external usb mouse and the driver(s) try to recalculate
the button mappings.  I don't have a solution, but what seemed to work
for me, was to click both of the touchpad buttons at once, emulating the
3rd button.  After I did this, everything resumed it's expected
behavior.
