Place a configuration file in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d 2. Add the xinput commands to ~/.xinitrc I usually go with option 2 these days whenever possible (unless it's something that can only be done in Xorg's configuration files). So a typical ~/.xinitrc would look like this: setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap xinput --set-prop "xyz" "0 0 0" xsetroot ... /path/to/my/windowmanager You can find the one I used a few years ago here as an example: https://blog.grem.de/pages/t470s.html#my-home-xinitrc That way it's also part of my home directory and I can easily take it to another machine. It also means I don't change Xorg's default configs directly, which makes updating easier. The best part is, that once I found the right tweak, I can simply copy and paste the command that fixed the issue in there and call it a day. And if anyone asks for help, I can consult my ~/.xinitrc and ask them to execute the commands to test if it fixes their ache - which is easier and often doesn't require to restart X. > But these names don't seem to directly correspond to names in man 4 > libinput. Why the difference? That's kind of an upstream question, but you can see at least where it's done it in the source of xf86-input-libinput[0]. Basically it's done that way for pragmatic reasons (unifying xf86 input section config vs xinput ABI would probably violate the Pareto principle). It's a bit confusing, but as most things that you can configure and their current configuration vales can be seen and tweaked by calling xinput on the command line, I barely visit that man page. One more reason why I tweak these things in ~/.xinitrc. > > I also noticed in xorg logs: > > [ 34.491] (EE) event6 - SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: kernel bug: > Touch jump detected and discarded.

Discarding That's to be expected and can be ignored, unless you notice any usability problems.
