Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2022 20:42:49 -0300

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/35450>.

This driver isn't intended to be installed by default as it takes
precedence over the recommended xf86-input-libinput.

* gnu/services/xorg.scm (%default-xorg-modules): Remove
  xf86-input-synaptics.

Tested in a VM, seems fine to me. Tobias, Alex, Attila any objection?

no objections from me.

i still have this in my current config, although commented out by now:

;; TODO delete this eventually, i'm using wayland now
;; (xorg-configuration
;;  (xorg-configuration
;;   (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)
;;   ;; for touchpad settings, we need to disable the now abandoned
;;   ;; synaptics driver: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/33189#5
;;   (modules (filter (lambda (mod)
;;                      (not (eq? mod xf86-input-synaptics)))
;;                    %default-xorg-modules))))
