A number of relevant bug fixes have been committed to the kernel since this
driver was backported. These fixes should probably be backported as well:

I put the following in my xorg.conf to permanently fix the sensitivity issues
and disable edge scrolling:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "PointStick"
MatchIsPointer "true"
MatchProduct "DualPoint Stick"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# To display current settings:
# xinput list-props 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick'
# xinput get-feedbacks 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick'
# Scroll wheel emulation is configured by default in
# /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-evdev-trackpoint.conf
# Default scroll is way too sensitive
Option "EmulateWheelInertia" "80" # Default 10
# Middle Button Emulation isn't needed since there is a physical button
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" # Default true
# Use the recommended "polynomial" acceleration profile
Option "AccelerationProfile" "2" # Default 0 ("classic")
# Default settings are way too sensitive
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "9" # Default 1.0
#Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "1.0" # Default 1.0
# The Threshold/Numerator/Denominator set here are usually overridden by the
Desktop Manager,
# so you may also need to adjust these in the Desktop Manager's control
panel, or add
# `xinput set-ptr-feedback 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick' 0 7 2` to a
startup script run by your
# Desktop manager.
Option "AccelerationThreshold" "0" # Default 4 for use
with "classic" profile
Option "AccelerationNumerator" "7" # Default 2
Option "AccelerationDenominator" "2" # Default 1
#Option "VelocityScaling" "10.0" # Default 10.0
EndSection
Section "InputClass"

# To display current settings:
# xinput list-props 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad'

# synclient
# Use multi-touch button emulation
Option "TapButton2" "2" # Default 3 (right
click)
Option "TapButton3" "3" # Default 0
# Button emulation isn't needed since there are physical buttons
# and multi-touch button emulation is easier to use than edge button emulation
Option "RTCornerButton" "0" # Default 2 (middle
click)

# Edge scroll emulation isn't needed since multi-touch scroll emulation is
supported
# (Multi-touch scroll emulation is easier to use than edge scroll emulation)
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "false" # Default true
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "false" # Default false
# Disable acceleration in the synaptics driver (use Xorg acceleration instead)
Option "MinSpeed" "1" # Default 1
Option "MaxSpeed" "1" # Default 1.75
# Use the recommended "polynomial" acceleration profile

("device-dependent")
# Default settings are a bit too sensitive
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "5" # Default 2.5

Title:
Touchpad not recognized on Dell Latitude E7470 Ultrabook
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Expected: Touchpad settings available in Mouse & Touchpad Settings
dialog
Actual result: Touchpad settings missing entirely
Details:
The touchpad on my Dell Ultrabook (Latitude E7470) functions mostly.
The settings for the touchpad are not available at all in the Mouse
and Touchpad settings (see http://i.imgur.com/YRGiOrj.png).
Two-finger scrolling works as expected except it's using "Natural
Scrolling" by default and there is no way to change it.
xinput list does not display a touchpad at all:
