Bug Description
Clickpads are a part of a wide range of professional Lenovo Thinkpad machines. The touchpads/clickpads on these laptops do not work well with the synaptics driver version 1.7.x. Since the 14.04 is an LTS version, I do not plan to upgrade to 14.10. I imagine many users of the Lenovo Thinkpad line are in a similar situation.
Since version 1.8.x fixes a lot of these issues, see commit here:

and blog post here:

Please offer 1.8.x as backported package in 14.04.
