The Settings app (gnome-control-center and gnome-settings-daemon) included in GNOME 3.20 only support the new xserver-xorg-input-libinput driver.
We would just make that a dependency of gnome-control-center then except that unity-control-center doesn't yet support changing touchpad settings with it. For Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 (still in development), the libinput package is a recommends currently. Yes, it is a different touchpad driver and works differently than the old -synaptics driver. Maybe it will be more comfortable once you get used to it. If not, you can report a new bug: ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-input-libinput ** Package changed: gsettings-desktop-schemas (Ubuntu) => gnome-control- center (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gsettings-desktop-schemas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586657 Title: Touchpad gsettings being ignored Status in GSettings Desktop Schemas: Unknown Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I think this is just the touchpad, though I don't have a mouse to test this with so it could also be affecting the mouse or a wider range of settings. But I have found that after upgrading to GNOME 3.20 on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 that all my gsettings for things like natural scrolling and tap to click are being ignored and it doesn't matter what I have them set to, they are doing what they like. I have also seen others experiencing the same issues. This is what dconf-editor shows me the settings are set to: dconf-editor_touchpad_settings.png And yet even though the tap to click option is set to 'false', my touchpad is acting as though it has been set to 'true' ever since the upgrade, same for natural scrolling. As I have said, these are the only settings that I have noticed this with, however I have not really tested it with any of the others so I cannot say for sure how many settings this issue affects.
