Hi,

"libinput --version" does not work for me. I get errors in both OpenSUSE and
PopOS/UBuntu that command is invalid.

Perhaps this is because my desktop is running xor and not wayland.

I searched installed packages for PopOS based on Ubuntu 17.10. This is what I
see.

*Note: Palm detection IS working correctly here in PopOS / Ubuntu 17.10.

----------

apt list --installed | grep libinput

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

libinput-bin/artful,now 1.8.2-1ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libinput10/artful,now 1.8.2-1ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
xserver-xorg-input-libinput/artful,now 0.25.0-0ubuntu1 amd64
[installed,automatic]
-----------

Since I had installed PopOS (Ubuntu 17.10) on my main drive I reinstalled
OpenSUSE Leap 42.3 to test for you using separate HDD. 

I also get no input from libinput --version as with PopOS/Ubuntu (see above).

This is the listed packages with lbinput I see installed in OpenSUSE.

Command:
rpm -qa --last | grep libinput

Output:
xf86-input-libinput-0.25.1-1.1.x86_64         Thu 30 Nov 2017 09:29:58 AM EST
libinput10-1.5.0-3.5.x86_64                   Thu 30 Nov 2017 09:26:41 AM EST
libinput-udev-1.5.0-3.5.x86_64                Thu 30 Nov 2017 09:26:05 AM EST


*Note: Palm detection is NOT working (or barely works) in OpenSUSE Leap 42.3.

I did some more testing and I noticed if I move input on the touchpad "From"
the left or right outside edge, to the center, it is not detected in OpenSUSE
as long as the movement is extremely slow. If the movement is at a normal speed
it is detected. So it seems palm detection is active but settings are way off.

In PopOS/Ubuntu I can moved input from the edge and it is not detected at all,
even if at a normal speed.
