My initial target was to get multitouch gestures work in Spotify (3-finger swipe to change current song etc). I installed Synaptics, created a .xprofile file in home with 

synclient TapButton2=0
synclient ClickFinger2=0
synclient TapButton3=0
synclient ClickFinger3=0
synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0
synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0
touchegg &

and added the corresponding lines to the touchegg.conf. However I first wanted to know if my touchpad does even support 3-finger gestures (In my windows-partition it works fine), so I installed geis and ran geisview in the terminal. No devices are shown in the window that pops up, just some classes like "Class 128 Added: Flick" with some details like "class name:b'Flick'". How can I get my Touchpad recognized for touchegg?

I tried to install the Nvidia graphics drivers via System Settings → Software & Updates → Additional Drivers. However got several error messages and ended up with corrupted drivers as it seems.

I rebooted and landed in a login loop, which I fixed by going into Ctrl+Alt+F1 menu, removed all nvidia related drivers via purge nvidia*.

Then reinstalled the xorg stuff with some autoremove I guess and sudo apt-get install lightdm xserver-xorg-core and something else like… xorg-id-19.

I just wanted to use my external screen as second screen and I ended up with this total mess. My idea now was to somehow uninstall all the xorg related stuff and lightdm and reinstall it somehow. However it appears to be rather difficult because I can't use any command as soon as Ubuntu booted.

I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
