Playing with synclient and xinput I discovered that I could make it
register a button-2 press by adjusting the synclient parameters
EmulateTwoFingerMinZ and EmulateTwoFingerMinW. I had not changed their
settings, so I assumed they were correct. But in fact, setting them as
suggested in the web sites above seems to work.
Now I have two-finger scrolling and middle-clicking again! I'm very
happy. (Though I still don't know what changed to make it stop
working.)
Jörg-Volker, thanks for your help.
