I can't get the mtrack driver to work. I followed the procedure. configure, make, install. But How to make it my default touchpad. Libinput still takes over.

Here is the output of:

xinput --list

Here is the output of:

libinput --list-devices

The Reason for that is because you are running Wayland. This driver is made for Xorg and not wayland. Also if you switch back to Xserver there is a very good possibility that mtrack will not work because you have installed synaptics as well which will prevent mtrack form being the default. You can remove synaptics using sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. Hope that helps and sorry if something here is missing because I am relatively new to all this.
