Public bug reported: Clickpads are a part of a wide range of professional Lenovo Thinkpad machines. The touchpads/clickpads on these laptops do not work well with the synaptics driver version 1.7.x. Since the 14.04 is an LTS version, I do not plan to upgrade to 14.10. I imagine many users of the Lenovo Thinkpad line are in a similar situation.
Since version 1.8.x fixes a lot of these issues, see commit here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input- synaptics/tag/?id=xf86-input-synaptics-1.8.1 and blog post here: http://who-t.blogspot.de/2014/03/xorg-synaptics-support-for- lenovo-t440.html Please offer 1.8.x as backported package in 14.04. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380218 Title: Backport xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.8.1 to 14.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1380218/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
