James (jamestheawesomedude), it will help immensely if you use the computer the problem is reproducible with, file a new report with Ubuntu by first ensuring the package xdiagnose is installed, and click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information after running the following from a terminal: ubuntu-bug xorg

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.
