Public bug reported:
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.
