== Libinput used for input devices ==
Input devices in supporting environments, notably GNOME with Fedora Workstation and KDE, will use a new driver, '''libinput'''.  The new driver replaces a variety of drivers, such as '''synaptics''', enabling more consistent behavior across a variety of devices. 


'''libinput'' improves support for multi-touch devices, software emulated buttons.  The driver is implemented directly in wayland sessions, and in X sessions through the '''xorg-x11-drv-libinput''' wrapper.

Input devices will be configurable through '''GNOME Settings''', '''KDE System Settings''', or '''xinput'''.  Some niche features are not available via '''libinput''', but the previous behavior can be restored by removing the '''libinput''' and '''libinput-x11-drv-libinput''' packages, and ensuring the appropriate x11 driver packages are installed.
 
To learn about the features and behavior of libinput, refer to `man libinput` or http://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/pages.html
