Bug#822486: xserver-xorg: Synaptic driver stopped working.

[Steven Price <steven@ecrips.co.uk>]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-all
Version: 1:7.7+15
Followup-For: Bug #822486

Dear Maintainer,

I am experiencing a similar issue. Since the upgrade of xserver-xorg to
1:7.7+15 the basic functionality of the touchpad on my HP 15-ab289sa works but
e.g. tap to click doesn't (and synclient returns the same error message as in
the original report). The mouse configuration
(System->Preferences->Hardware->Mouse in Mate) doesn't have the touchpad tab
like it used to.

Is there now some other way of configuring the touchpad with the new xserver-
xorg-input-libinput package?

Thanks,

Steve
