Hello,

A maintainer of GNOME control center mentions that synaptics has been 
removed from GNOME control center during the development of version 
3.20, "because the synaptics X driver isn't developed anymore".

GNOME control center discussion:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764257

Commit:
mouse: Drop unused synaptics capabilities check
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/commit/?id=6a86c7e957850b7122a7570abd81f250bc640fe7

I see that we have no report on this problem, I consider leaving the 
topic as informative.

Thanks Ludovic
