Sb, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t530 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.64). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

- Hello,
- 
- I run Ubuntu 15.04 on a newish Lenovo Thinkpad T440s. It has the new
- large, solid trackpad that is clickable anywhere, with no defined
- buttons. It is easily bumped while typing, creating an almost unusable
- experience. There is an option in the Ubuntu Unity system mouse/trackpad
- settings to "Disable while typing", which would solve the problem.
- However, this does not work. I confirm that there is absolutely no delay
- between typing and trackpad activation; in fact I can even move the
- trackpad while holding a key down.

  A reported workaround is to run:
  syndaemon -i 0.8 -d
- But this should not be necessary to make users run hacks like this, as it makes Ubuntu look unprofessional. The Ubuntu system settings option should do what is claims.
  
- Thanks for looking into this.
