Public bug reported:

The touchpad on my new laptop works fine (with multitouch and all) but when I 
stop moving my finger the mouse pointer still moves for a quarter of a second 
or similar as if a low-pass would filter the movements. Unfortunately this 
delay makes it hard not to miss a button at the first try and having to come 
back because stopping exactly a quarter of a second before the pointer hits the 
button - involves complex timing; When clicking or tapping on the buttons I 
don't get any noticable delay.
 
I know that when using the OS from M$ you can activate a low-pass filter for 
movements that is called "trägheitsbewegung" in the german version of that OS.

Is there a way to do the same on Ubuntu?
