Touchpad settings keep resetting on reboot

I have a Gigabyte G5 KD, and my touchpad settings keep resetting when I reboot. I use KDE on X11. I like to have my touchpad settings so that I have "Natural Scrolling" on, tap to click, and tap and drag. When I reboot, KDE tells me that Natural Scrolling is on, but functionally it is not. Moreover, the tap to click settings are grayed out and cannot change. The only way for me to fix this is to reinstall libinput and xf86-input-libinput and then reboot, but this fix tends to stop working after I reboot one more time. How can I make my touchpad settings persist so that I don't need to keep reinstalling these packages?

Re: Touchpad settings keep resetting on reboot

Post an Xorg log and journal which includes the problem. How are you configuring your touchpad? Do you have any other pointing devices? (Trackpoint, mouse ....)

Re: Touchpad settings keep resetting on reboot

So, the issue isn't happening anymore. I know I had recently updated KDE, but I can't remember whether or not I also removed some package and that fixed it or what. Either way the touchpad is working fine now.
