On the other hand, xf86-input-synaptics _is_ installed and when I manually invoke syndaemon, that addresses the problem.

Manually invoking syndaemon does not strike me as an approach we want to force on our users (and I would not have thought of that either), so what can we do?

Should syndaemon be started automatically?

I was under the impression that syndaemon was 'on the way out' with libinput being the 'future' for such things

Maybe we should be installing xf86-input-libinput if it's ready and working with upstream to iron out and bugs there

I have now installed xf86-input-libinput-0.19.0-1.1.x86_64 and  while that seemed to do the job yesterday, I just invoked syndaemon  manually since the touchpad was interfering way too much with  my typing.

Unless and until xf86-input-libinput is fixed, I sure hope syndaemon is not going away.

Please make sure you are not affected by  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=981924 The xorg team decided to "up" the priority of the synaptic driver, taking precedence over the libinput one. Easy way to check is to uninstall all input drivers apart from libinput ones and xorg-x11-driver-input and reboot. (even if the latter one is fixed in sr#398930, but this has yet to hit TW.). /Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Ever since the update to GNOME 3.20 a few weeks ago, the touchpad on my notebook (Lenovo T series) regularly interferes when I am typing, moving the pointer (and hence input focus) to random locations.

I'm running Tumbleweed on one ThinkPad and Fedora Rawhide on another. On Rawhide I've been experiencing 3.20 for over six months, and I'm told it's this bug on Wayland (or to remove the Synaptics driver on X):

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765879

In my case, I need the touchpad disabled, so I always left it set that way. When it came back on by itself with the installation of 3.20, I reached for the Mouse & Touchpad control panel to find, not just a missing checkbox, but no Touchpad section at all.

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/397112 I got bored of waiting for a release so I patched it instead. But in any case - you will NOT have GUI config of touchpad (when running gnome-shell on X) as long as you do not have xf86-input- libinput installed and in use as driver. https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=66c211ff2 4bec6a938d6a6a0dd8730f4689ef383 /B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
