My kernel got upgraded from standard repositories. I use Dell Latitude E5470. Now the touchpad and trackpoint are recognised:

⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick id=13 [slave pointer (2)]

Also, I can see the touchpad options in the System Settings tab.

However, I notice the following behaviours:
1) I cannot turn off the horizontal double-finger scrolling.
2) The horizontal double-finger scrolling is unproportionally fast.
3) It happens that without any activity (and no external mouse connected) my mouse pointer moves around the screen (!) (it happens even when I disable touchpad in system settings, so I believe it must come from the trackpoint).
4) I notice spontaneous clicks while moving the cursor using touchpad.

Do you think it is possible to add options to the Mouse & Touchpad tab to control 1), 2) and 3)?

What about 3) and 4)
