[Bug 1039261] [NEW] Xinput extension is too old

[Clay Weber]

Public bug reported:

After an update and reboot, found that my touchpad was not working
corrrectly - scrolling wasn't working unless I used a scrollbar.

Opening System Settings to get to the Synaptiks touchpad control (kde-
config-touchpad) brings up the following error:

"The version of the XInput extension installed on your system is too old. Version 2.0 was found, but at least version 2.0 is required.
If you want to be able to configure your touchpad, you have to upgrade your system to a recent release of the Xorg display server. This may likely involve a complete upgrade of your system. Please excuse this inconvenience, but there is no way to make touchpad configuration work on systems as old as yours."

Xinput is at version 1.6, however the error is saying the version 2.0
was found.
