Bug#821760: Please pull in xserver-xorg-input-libinput

[Michael Biebl]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-all
Version: 1:7.7+14
Severity: normal

Hi,

GNOME 3.20 has dropped support for non-libinput mouse configurations [1]
So any configuration changes you make in gnome-control-center won't have
any effect unless xserver-xorg-input-libinput is installed, e.g. my
tap-to-click touchpad settings had no effect otherwise [2]

We quickly discussed this issue on #debian-gnome IRC where I suggested
that we let one of the GNOME packages pull in
xserver-xorg-input-libinput.

pochu mentioned that doing this via xserver-xorg-input-all might be
nicer. What's the state of xserver-xorg-input-libinput, Timo? Do you
consider it ready for the masses and do we want to have it installed
(and enabled) by default?

Regards,
Michael
