It's possible you didn't have xorg-x11-drv-libinput prior to upgrade Without it, you should have access to all the adjustable synaptics options, libinput has for less options. (In reply to Rex Dieter from comment #1) > It's possible you didn't have xorg-x11-drv-libinput prior to upgrade > > Without it, you should have access to all the adjustable synaptics options, > libinput has for less options. Can it REALLY be as simple as a "dnf install xorg-11*"? or will I find myself traveling through "Dependency Hell"? Could I just pull that from a LIveCD? or would I need to go the re-installation route? (I've been hapily chugging along with Fedora since about 15/16...and I don't plan on switching or leaving now...so I'll do what needs to be done to get this issue fixed. Thank you for assisting me, I will seek out a method of getting xorg-11 and any other dependencies that might be needed. You don't need to install anything new, but only do: dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-libinput so the system will fallback to using the classic synaptics driver (with more options). @Rex Dieter: That didnt' work, but you know what DID? The absolute REVERSE. I INSTALLED the xorg-x11-drv-libinput and rebooted the machine, seems everything is working now. I'm wondering if the installation didn't somehow remove the xorg files I needed? Interesting to say the least. And thank you Sir for your help! I'd have been stuck with this issue for Lord knows how long, since I have less available time than I did previously. |
