The latest gnome-control-center / gnome-settings-daemon dropped support for the synaptics driver and added support for the libinput driver. So you will only be able to configure your touchpad through gnome-control-center if you are using the libinput driver. We're thinking about how to best solve this. Possibly by temporarily bringing back synaptics support to gnome-control-center. But in the long run, libinput will be used. Cheers, Emilio
