libinput scrolling configuration on gnome-wayland

Hi all,

I have a problem regarding the configuration of libinput
driver. Specifically the device I want to adjust is

   ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad

and as far as I understand the configuration is managed
by  the wayland compositor, in my case mutter. The
parameter I want to set is the two finger scrolling
activation trigger. Basically slow scrolling is insensitive
in a scrolled window whilst fast scrolling is too aggressive
in that almost an entire page is scrolled whereas I just
want to scroll few lines.

I also tried in a different compositor, namely weston
and configuration there works perfectly to me.

I couldn't find any useful documentation regarding
this. On arch wiki it is explained how to set up some
parameter on X through xinput but no reference is
given regarding Wayland. Could anyone help me with
this please?

In what way is this different to your other wayland thread?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=206530

You should have continued in that thread if it wasn't [SOLVED]

Here is the libinput API:

It may be a challenge, see this reddit post:

I see, there is no easy way to influence the compositor settings, unless one gets into its source code.
Thanks the same.
