It would help to detail exactly which aspect you consider unusable. (I think you have a menu of options :)
For me it was the fact that palmdetect was not working. Therefore I currently use this in .config/upstart/touchpad.conf: description "Configure the Hellpad" author "Serge Hallyn <[email protected]>" #start on starting xsession-init start on desktop-start stop on desktop-end task script synclient TapButton3=2 synclient ClickFinger3=2 synclient AreaTopEdge=3500 end script This disables the top half of the touchpad so that I can type without the mouse moving/clicking. That was the 'unusable' part for me. (It also activiates 3-finger click for middle button). The top part of the pad still works as clickpad, and bottom still works as mouseclick-only. It's not ideal, but it is usable. (Note that the 'start on' is not ideal, sometimes it runs before syndaemon is running, so tha tneeds to be tuned, or the job needs to just sleep until syndaemon is running). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270452 Title: Lenovo T440 Touchpad needs custom config Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Arch Linux: New Bug description: The new all-touch (similiar to Macbooks) touchpad of the Lenovo Thinkpad T440 is hardly usable out of the box.
