They're independent drivers, synaptics is just for touchpads, libinput is for any (non-joystick) device. Only one driver can handle any one device at a time but there are no conflicts otherwise. > 3.dose libinput or xf86-input-synaptics or xorg use evdev directly? all X input drivers on Linux use the evdev kernel API/protocol. Exception are xf86-input-mouse and -keyboard which are used on other platforms too. xf86-input-synaptics has non-evdev backends that are used on other platforms but not Linux. > 4.is there any graph or document discribe these things's relationship？ some "pretty" pictures are here: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/what-is-libinput.html Cheers, Peter
