Details

In gnome 3.16, when using the X11 environment paired with xf86-input-libinput for the input driver, the touchpad configurable settings in Gnome-Control-Center do not seem to have any effect. Toggling the touchpad on and off, tweaking the sensitivity, two finger scroll, etc. does nothing. I assume, however, that these settings should have an effect, as with 3.14 none of these settings were exposed when using xf86-input-libinput.

Further, testing under a wayland environment shows that the Gnome-control-center settings do properly work when running directly off of libinput.

Something specific about the xf86-input-libinput wrapper is not working as intended.
This task depends upon

I can confirm that the upgrade to 3.16.1 does not solve this issue. Though now I have a 'greyed' out "two-finger-scroll" option under X11, even though two-finger scrolling works. Also, at some point tap-to-click must have stopped working (or never did, I don't know), regardless of being checked.

Again, the update the 3.16.2 did not fix this. Upstream doesn't have this bug reported. Maybe it is Arch specific?
