ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2021-08-09 21:58:34 UTC
What distro are you using? Do you have the libinput drivers installed in addition to the synaptics ones?
Comment 2 p3dimaria 2021-08-10 10:22:23 UTC
NixOS unstable
services.xserver.libinput.enable = mkDefault true;
However synaptics drivers should not be installed
And on 5.21 the config menu still worked

Thanks for the info. Cannot reproduce.

I am having the same problem also on nixos.

kcm-touchpad-list-devices lists the touchpad properly but the settings application does not. It still works on NixOS 21.05 which uses the same LTS kernel version. I am not sure which library update broke it and a hint would be appreciated.

Comment 5 Sandro 2021-09-28 18:01:58 UTC
For me this is fixed in the latest nixos-unstable version. I think it might be an incompatible between the plasma and libinput version used at that point.
