xorg synaptics driver 1.8.x backported to trusty

PPA description

...for those of us with ThinkPad T440's and the like, or really, anyone with the newer "buttonless" trackpoints/touchpads.

See, e.g.: http://who-t.blogspot.com/2014/03/xorg-synaptics-support-for-lenovo-t440.html

Note: I've only used this with the utopic/lts linux-image (kernel) backport packages; YMMV when used with the stock trusty kernels.
