Hi,
I have been using a Logitech Marble Mouse trackball and a Logitech
optical mouse with Leap 15.2/KDE for quite a while. Trackball
left-hand-mapping, and an optical mouse right-hand-mapping (one
computer, two users)
...
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf in Leap 15.2/KDE-Plasma
----------------------------------------------------------------
Section "InputClass"
         Identifier      "Marble Mouse"
         MatchProduct    "Logitech USB Trackball"
         MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
         Driver          "libinput"
...
EndSection
----------------------------------------------------------------
But not so with Leap 15.3 RC Gnome or with the current Tumbleweed XFCE.
It seems that /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is not used except for a
keyboard-configuration file in Tumbleweed XFCE. It is still there in
Leap 15.3 RC KDE-Plasma.
How could I get the trackball functionality in Tumbleweed XFCE?
perhaps it has moved,
   /etc/X11/ => /usr/etc/X11/
Nothing I can make sense of.
I suppose it has something to do with the usage of GTX+3 in Gnome and
XFCE compared to Qt5 and KDE-Plasma and the migration from X to Wayland.

Not that I understand much of that.
