Synaptics is deprecated with no maintenance.

> The xf86-input-evdev driver is in maintenance mode at this point. The last commit was in May 2018 and, since the 2.10.0 release four years ago, there have been a total of 19 commits. It is still shipped in RHEL 8 in order to support "crazy devices" that don't work otherwise. Similarly, xf86-input-synaptics had a 1.9.0 release in 2016 and has had nine commits since. It is effectively dead and all touchpads should be working with libinput at this point. Since libinput took over from xf86-input-synaptics three years ago, no one has stepped up to say they want to continue maintaining it, Hutterer said.
