Which touchpad driver is being used?

  • 772

Im running ubuntu on a dell vostro, and I want to configure some trackpad settings. When I run 'xinput --list' I see two touchpad drivers:

⎜ ↳ DELL08CF:00 04F3:30C3 Touchpad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]

⎜ ↳ ImPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=15 [slave pointer (2)]

The first one is a synaptics driver, and the second one is libinput. How do I find out which one is being used in my system?

  1. You can find this out by running

    xinput list-props 11 && xinput list-props 15

    But both devices will use the same driver unless you deliberately change it.

    You can try to disable one or another by

    xinput disable 11

    or

    xinput disable 15

    to see which is really used.

    I think it is the same device but with PS/2 and i2c interfaces.
