Here my review : The Barton George's instructions seem incomplete to me. Here what I have done :

  1. Install build tools :

    sudo apt-get install git build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config libtool
    sudo apt-get install libmtdev1 libmtdev-dev libudev-dev libevdev-dev xutils-dev
  2. Get xserver-xorg-dev :

    sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev 
  3. Install libinput :

    git clone http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/wayland/libinput
    cd libinput
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
    make && sudo make install

    Note : I don't know why but git clone http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/libinput/ is not working for me.

  4. Install xf86-input-libinput :

     git clone http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-libinput/
     cd ../xf86-input-libinput
     ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
     make && sudo make install
  5. Log out and re-open your session.
  6. Add touchpalm detection :

     sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-libinput.conf

    And paste this before EndSection :

    Option "Tapping" "True"
    Option "PalmDetection" "True"

Can someone please test it and tell me theirs results ? I am having trouble to test if this is working properly... Thanks in advance.

Barton's going to update the instructions our support person put together for him. He accidentally left part of it out.
