Thanks, but this still seems like a regression. Previously I was able to change the settings through the GUI in Mate (the touchpad tab in 'Mouse' settings) and these settings are per-user. I don't currently have an xorg.conf (the defaults work fine for everything else) and xinput is obviously only a temporary change. I'm not sure which package is wrong here, but either Mate needs to be updated to support the new libinput way of doing things, or xorg-input-libinput needs to support the synaptics configuration methods. For now I've just reverted xserver-xorg-input-all to allow me to uninstall xorg-input-libinput which gets everything working as expected. Cheers, Steve
