Description Bastián Díaz 2016-03-31 05:51:32 UTC
Description of problem:
Touchpad settings made via gnome-software-center are not considered by the system or take other values.
You can configure the touchpad correctly only adding the file "50-synaptics.conf" to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" folder. Instead on Wayland session works correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 24 Rawhide 64bit UEFI boot
GNOME 3.20.0
Laptop Acer Aspire E11

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in default fedora-gnome session (x.org)
2. Test Touchpad settings
3. Trying to change the default settings of the touchpad

Actual results:
• Touchpad → on/off don't work
• Natural scrolling → reverse behavior
• Touchpad speed → don't work
• Tap to click → don't work

Expected results:
Tochpad config working properly

Additional info:
Using touchpad basic bios configuration

Installing "xorg-x11-drv-libinput" fixed several similar TouchPad problems for me.  The synaptics driver has lost some functionality or support under Fedora 24, but the libinput driver is doing fine and seems to be the intended way forward.

Bug #1349600 may be related.

Thank you. This particular package was already installed when the problem occurred, however, it is resolved to do a major upgrade of the system.
