Bug Description

I'm using a laptop but there is currently no way to configure the behavior of the mousepad in the system settings. Things I would like to be able to control:

1) Resolution (modifying the acceleration in "mouse"-configuration does not affect the mousepad)

2) Enable/disable recognizing mousepad-tapping as left-mouse-click

3) On windows the edges and corners of the mousepad can often be configured to handle different tasks (eg. scolling windows, starting programs, etc.). This could be a nice feature in Dapper too.

I would say this is more of a request for inclusion of ksynaptics in dapper LTS (dapperLTS+1, now, I suppose). Changing bug name to reflect that.

..but it does hinge on resolution of bug #3406.

Mousepad control is a very important feature for laptop users - some mousepads are not very usable without this. This utility allows setting of where the borders are located as well as acceleration settings (some mousepads are unusably slow or unusably fast). This is a show-stopper for some people (if they don't have USB mouse ;-).

Looking into this for Gutsy. I noticed that having libsynaptics installed presents the touchpad interface in system settings.

KSynaptics has been removed from Intrepid, so this likely won't be fixed. (Upstream discontinued it.)
