Gnome 3.16 xf86-input-libinput not obeying GCM settings
Hi guys,
I have noticed in Gnome 3.16 while using xf86-input-libinput for my touchpad the settings for speed, tap to click, etc. do not seem to have any effect at all. It feels as if xf86-input-libinput is running purely off of the defaults, as disabling the touchpad, toggling on/off settings, and cranking the speed up and down does nothing. Does anyone else have this issue?
I don't really know what I'm doing.

Works for me in the Wayland Session. I have a synaptics touchpad.
EDIT: Ehh in the Wayland session it's of course using libinput directly.

I couldn't use the wayland session a few days ago due to the control-panel refusing to load under wayland. Has that be fixed then?

Yes that was just, because clutter wasn't using the GDK backend which than would favor Wayland when in the wayland session. It works with the latest update to the clutter package.
Before that you had to tell it to use the Wayland backend "CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland gnome-control-center" in a terminal.

Nice to see wayland working well. My touchpad feels a bit off though, like the acceleration is either too high or too low. Any way to change that now that we don't have things like .conf files to edit lol?

Since upgrading to Gnome 3.16 - well, I think it's rather because upgrading to Xorg-server 1.17.1 - my touchpad works creepy as well. I'm having a Thinkpad T61, 14,1". No differences under Wayland or XFCE.
