The most current version, 0.8.1-1ubuntu1 is installed.

Following is the information in the message box when the crash occurs:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version error

The version of the XInput extension installed on your system is too old. Version 2.0 was found, but at least version 2.0 is required.

If you want to be able to configure your touchpad, you have to upgrade your system to a recent release of the Xorg display server. This may likely involve a complete upgrade of your system. Please excuse this inconvenience, but there is no way to make touchpad configuration work on systems as old as yours.
