Title:
  Backport xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.8.1 to 14.04 LTS

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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:

  lenovo-t440.html

  Please offer 1.8.x as backported package in 14.04.
