Hi there :-)

Thank you very much for your reply and all the useful information. And for
editing the correct Bug specs of course.

I switched back to libinput again. So the Wayland package of libinput should be
used, right?
I'm not sure if i am getting the stuff regarding different compositors right.
Do you mean there are different compositor versions of libinput or just of
input packages in general? (like synaptics, libinput ... )

After uninstalling synaptics and re-installing libinput again, "dpkg -l" is
showing up this input package:
ii  xserver-xorg-input-libinp 0.18.0-1        amd64 
X.Org X server -- libinput input driver


That's correct, isn't it?
------------------------------------

I'd also like to clear things up a little bit.
Multitouch in sense of 2-Finger-Swipes is working fine out of the box, no
matter if i use synaptics or libinput, each one without any additional
gesture-mapping tool like touchegg oder libinput gestures.

Just Pinching and / or 3 or more - finger gestures aren't recognized.
Touchpad debug also is telling the coordinates absolutely fine on 2-finger
swipes. 

But on pinching or 3+ - Finger swipes i'm getting following output:
libinput error: libinput bug: Event for missing capability CAP_GESTURE on
device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"


To be honest, it would already be great if i could at least map
ALT+left/ALT+right (Browser back/forward) to the 2-finger horizontal swipe. 
In my case there's no need for horizontal scrolling using touchpad.

Do you think there could be a chance of at least realizing this?
For sure i'm absolutely happy to help with any information you need. At least
i'll try as good as i can ;-)

Thank you very much for your support regarding my issue and of course your
offer to further investigate this.

I'm happy to help with any information needed :-)
