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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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.
