USB touchpad recognized as keyboard and pointer but not as touchpad
Hi all,
I got this wireless USB touchpad/trackpad. Basically, it worked out of the box but seems to be recognized only as mouse/pointer but not as a touchpad.
This has two major drawbacks:
* It shares the settings with my mouse and GNOME 3.32 doesn't show the touchpad specific settings at all.
* It's not possible to middle-click (whereas it should be a 3-finger click with a real touchpad).
Is there any way to teach my system that this device is a touchpad?
Here's the (dmesg, lsusb, libinput, xinput) device information:

Re: USB touchpad recognized as keyboard and pointer but not as touchpad
Looks like a cool device. It would be really nice if it emulated a keyboard as well. It would go well with a Raspberry-Pi (ponder, ponder...)
If it were mine, I might look into aur/xf86-input-mtrack. Absolutely no guarantee, but it might work.

Re: USB touchpad recognized as keyboard and pointer but not as touchpad
Notice that you're on a wayland session and all X11 stuff happens on top of xwayland, not xorg. The xinput output lists somewhat of an emulated device.
I'd suggest attempting to start Xorg first and see how the device registers there.

I've tried it but didn't get it working. The problem is that the matcher MatchIsTouchpad won't work because it is not recognized as such. And defining fixed devices won't work either because the actual devices (/dev/input/eventX) change between reboots.

With an Xorg session, the devices shows up with its name "HL ... Smart Control" but still just as a pointer and a keyboard and not as a touchpad.
