Dana Goyette, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one at the top) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Cannot configure Synaptics TouchStyk settings (e.g. sensitivity,
  tapping, press/select)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Although GNOME now has a preferences window for configuring the
  behavior of the Synaptics touchpad, there is no dialog for configuring
  the behavior of the TouchStyk (similar to IBM's TrackPoint or more
  generally referred to as a pointing stick).

  The Synaptics driver on Windows allows me to configure the pace of the
  TouchStyk, which is by default too slow in Ubuntu in my opinion.
  Furthermore, I can enable features such as tapping to perform a left
  mouse click, and press/select which allows me to select text using
  only the TouchStyk. I believe even scrolling should be possible.

  Is there any way to configure this in Ubuntu? Even granted that this
  is possible, I believe users should be able to alter the default
  configuration in a graphical way.

  Bug #251121 seems to report something similar (but in this case with
  an ALPS touchpad/trackpoint).

  Thanks in advance! I greatly appreciate the fact that laptop support
  is getting better and better on Ubuntu, but of course to get it really
  up to par with Windows and Mac OS X, we should keep reporting these
  things.
