I currently have Cinnamon installed on a 2010 macbook pro. Touchpad support is passable, but multitouch is clunky (sometimes the second finger is not detected at all), so I'm considering installing xf86-input-mtrack-git as suggested in the Mac wiki page of the Arch wiki. I'm not sure if this is as simple as installing the package from AUR or if there are other things that need to be done. Presumably there is already a driver or kernel module (not sure if these are different things) which supports my touchpad, that needs to be disabled before xf86-input-mtrack-git can work properly? What is the recommended workflow for switching touchpad drivers?

The kernel drivers are separate and independent of the user space driver X will use. Which input module is X currently using for the touchpad?
