Synaptics Touchpad doesn't work

After moving to a pure systemd system. I have problems with function key. I managed to fix problems with multimedia key with xbindkeys.
But I still have problem with my touchpad.
Seem my system recognizes touchpad but it don't work, after enabling touchpad, I cant move my pointer with touchpad.
I enables touchpad by synclient command

 synclient TouchpadOff=0 

This is some extra information.

$synclient -l

Re: Synaptics Touchpad doesn't work

Your Xorg log is showing the device at /dev/input/mouse1 so in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf try changing :
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

to

MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse1"

See the Synaptics wiki page for a little more info.  I just ran into this issue as well with some of the latest updates.

Re: Synaptics Touchpad doesn't work

Ah well sorry that didn't fix it for you.  It may still help to go back to the Synaptics wiki page and go through the rest of the troubleshooting section to see if something else applies.  There have definitely been some changes recently, so it may be a simple config change is all that's needed.

Re: Synaptics Touchpad doesn't work

After change 10-synaptics.conf, probaly the most important change is turning off SHMConfig and setting CoastingSpeed to 0

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "2"
        Option "TapButton3" "3"
	Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
        Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
        Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
        Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
	Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
EndSection

And turn off Gnome 3 mouse daemon setting following wiki

dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/mouse/active false

Now my touchpad works flawlessly. But I dont know why it works smile)
Thank you @dschrute for your support ^^.
