No trackpad options are displaying in settings

[Adam Chou]

This is a fresh Xenial install on a Dell Precision 7510.

When I go to Settings->Mouse & Touchpad, the only three settings displayed are

1. Primary button
2. Double-click
3. Pointer speed

I can't invert my scroll direction, or set any of the other settings. I believe the trackpad functionality is working as I can do a two finger scroll correctly.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you have "xserver-xorg-input-libinput" installed?

[Adam Chou (adam-chou)]

That package was not originally installed. I tried installing it and restarting my system but I still don't have the ability to modify my touchpad settings.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it's not supposed to be installed and unity-control-center doesn't know how to configure it so I was checking you didn't have it which would create a similar issue, if that was not the case so that's something else...

[Adam Chou (adam-chou)]

Ok, good to know. I've uninstalled the package. Is there anything else I should try doing?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

unsure, that would be similar to bug #1132063
