The touch-pad on the Thinkpad S540 is extremely erratic (the cursor often jumps when right-clicking, making it extremely difficult to right click anything, and even left-click sensitivity seems to be very poor). I am using Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS. The touchpad is an "all in one" variety with no separate left and right buttons, but having them built in to the pad area.

Is there anywhere I can obtain better touchpad drivers? or generally anything else I can do to improve the mouse behavior?

This seemed to help, at least somewhat:

Create the following config file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-thinkpad-touchpad.conf (create xorg.conf.d directory if it doesn't exist):

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad"
        MatchProduct "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        # fix touchpad resolution
        Option "VertResolution" "100"
        Option "HorizResolution" "65"
        # increment noise cancellation factor
        Option "HorizHysteresis" "50"
        Option "VertHysteresis" "50"
EndSection

Not sure if there are a better set of tweaks out there...
