** Description changed: I'm splitting this issue off from LP: #1685542 (which made xserver-xorg- input-all no longer recommend xserver-xorg-input-synaptics) for tracking the remaining issues. gnome-control-center only supports libinput. If xserver-xorg-input- synaptics is installed (because it's used by some desktops which haven't been ported to libinput yet), synaptics overrides libinput. That makes gnome-control-center's Mouse & Touchpad settings panel only show basic settings and important configurations don't work. Questions --------- 1. Which desktops/apps still need -synaptics? + - Unity + - Xfce? + - LXDE? LXQt? + All the other major desktops have already been ported (LP: #1417980) 2. Can these apps be ported or removed before 18.04 LTS is released? 3. Can the desktops be ported and how bad is it if they are not ported and -synaptics is no longer available? 4. If -synaptics can't be removed completely from 18.04 LTS, does it make sense to have gnome-control-center Conflicts: xserver-xorg-input- synaptics? 5. Is there any other way we can fix this conflict?
