synaptics driver for Xorg not working in TC16 x64

Hi nick65go

--- End quote ---
I read that someone got it to work by changing this:
--- Code: ---/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
--- End code ---
to this:
--- Code: ---/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-synaptics.conf
/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-libinput.conf
--- End code ---
--- Quote from: nick65go on May 24, 2025, 11:24:06 AM --- ... BTW, in TC wit minimal xorg-3d + firmware:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ ls -al /usr/local/lib/libinput*
ls: /usr/local/lib/libinput*: No such file or directory
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
--- End quote ---
Try:
--- Code: ---ls -al /usr/local/bin/libinput*
--- End code ---

OK, I installed libinput tools:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ tce-load -i libinput
libinput is already installed!
tc@box:~$ sudo /usr/local/lib/libinput/libinput-list-devices

no news about synaptic capabilities to enable.
I will try re-number *conf (as Rich suggested) and move all in the same folder (not /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d); out of Xorg, logout tc user; and come back here.

hm, no news, xorg is still stubborn:

it seams that I may be lucky with Achlinux:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xorg-server/ has "xorg-server 21.1.16-1" and TC16 has
