Touchpad is crazy after fresh arch installation.

Hi , guys , please help me ... I dont know what to do with my touchpad.
After finished with arch installation could not get my touchpad working properly.
It moves randomly ... it is a disaster.
I kwnow this it is a very old issue but I can not solve it.
I will provide some info so you can help me:
1st_ There is nothing related to my touchpad on the setings>mouse and touchpad section.
2nd_ Touchpad works fine and sudently goes crazy, with and without power supply.
3rd_ this si my xinput list output

[leo@leo ~]$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad           id=12    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                       id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                 id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                   id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                                id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ BisonCam, NB Pro                            id=10    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard                id=11    [slave  keyboard (3)]

4th_ I tryed with following commands:
synclient PalmDetect=1  ; synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0 ; synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
synclient CoastingSpeed=0
It seems to have a little efect on the overall behaviour.

5th_ I tryed also installing the libinput driver but it didnt work either.

Any ideas ?? I dont want to connect an external mouse.
Regards,
Leandro.

Re: Touchpad is crazy after fresh arch installation.

Does your pacman log contain lines suggesting xf86-input-synaptics should be replaced by xf86-input-libinput?

Re: Touchpad is crazy after fresh arch installation.

What desktop environment are you using? (Gnome, Xfce-4, ....)
What are the output of pacman -Qs xf86-input
?
