I had to create a xorg.conf.d for the DS4 Touchpad to be working with evdev, because it was not recognised correctly: Section "InputClass" Identifier "ds4-touchpad" Driver "evdev" MatchProduct "Sony Interactive Entertainment Wireless Controller Touchpad" EndSection When changing the Driver to "synaptics" or "libinput" though it is not working. I think this should work with libinput too, because libinput intends to replace evdev?!
Please attach an evemu-describe from that device, that will at least tell us *why* it doesn't work. But generally, the answer right now is likely: libinput does not support joysticks/gamepads and just outright ignores those. The touchpad on the p4 controller is a bit of a special case but it's probably tagged as joystick and thus ignored.

"not tagged as supported input device" - this appears to be a local issue on your side, it means ID_INPUT is never assigned to the device. That's a bit strange, if I replay the device here I get: E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/input/input26/event19 E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_INPUT_MOUSE=1 E: ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD=1 The ID_INPUT_MOUSE is mislabeled because the touchpad doesn't adhere to the correct protocol, it's missing ABS_X/ABS_Y. But iirc libinput doesn't care about this for touchpads, and indeed the device shows up in my testing here. So the issue on your side seems to be udev, the builtin input_id should do the right job here.
I still think it is a libinput problem, because.. 1. Why does it work with the evemu driver then? If it's not a libinput driver problem it shouldn't work with other drivers too. 2. When specifying the driver manually in xorg.conf, it shouldn't matter if ID_INPUT is set. 3. I checked and ID_INPUT is in fact set: udevadm info from ds4 touchpad: P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.3/0003:054C:09CC.0006/input/input43/event17 N: input/event17 S: input/by-id/usb-Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller-event-if03 S: input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.2:1.3-event E: DEVLINKS=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller-event-if03 /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.2:1.3-event E: DEVNAME=/dev/input/event17 E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.3/0003:054C:09CC.0006/input/input43/event17 E: ID_BUS=usb E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_MODEL=Wireless_Controller E: ID_MODEL_ENC=Wireless\x20Controller E: ID_MODEL_ID=09cc E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.2:1.3 E: ID_PATH_TAG=pci-0000_00_1d_0-usb-0_1_2_1_3 E: ID_REVISION=0100 E: ID_SERIAL=Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller E: ID_TYPE=hid E: ID_USB_DRIVER=usbhid E: ID_USB_INTERFACES=:010100:010200:030000: E: ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM=03 E: ID_VENDOR=Sony_Interactive_Entertainment E: ID_VENDOR_ENC=Sony\x20Interactive\x20Entertainment E: ID_VENDOR_ID=054c E: LIBINPUT_DEVICE_GROUP=3/54c/9cc:usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 E: MAJOR=13 E: MINOR=81 E: SUBSYSTEM=input E: USEC_INITIALIZED=134424850721
> 2. When specifying the driver manually in xorg.conf, it shouldn't matter > if ID_INPUT is set. it does matter, a device without ID_INPUT set never gets to the point where we even check the assigned drivers in the server. Based on the bits of the log you posted in comment 2, it does get rejected because of the missing ID_INPUT tag. But you're right, that would apply for the evdev driver too. So I'll need a full xorg.log please (most likely the interesting bit was outside the snippet pasted here) and an evemu-record with a touchs sequence to move the pointer so I can check what else is going on.

I thought I included everything related to the touchpad from the xorg.log but of course I can also upload a full log, do you want TWO full logs with evdev AND libinput driver?
Here is a full Xorg.0.log trying libinput as ds4 touchpad driver: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/4Yu2zjQCcW7dmJnHxVbs/
I see the other touchpad is actually recognized.. "event5 - (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (II) is tagged by udev as: Touchpad" So probably libinput doesn't recognize the ds4 touchpad because it has no ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD set!?
fwiw, please attach anything longer than say 10 lines, otherwise it gets too difficult to find the real comments. and never use pastebins, they disappear randomly. we have bugzilla attachments for that. ok, checked the code again and you are right, it is likely missing ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD, so libinput doesn't know what to do with the device, see http://who-t.blogspot.com/2015/06/libinput-and-lack-of-device-types.html for more details. question though is why it's missing, afaict from the udev builtin you should have both set (MOUSE and TOUCHPAD, which is a bug, but anyway). are you using a recent enough version of systemd? (not that that code has changed in ages...) You'll likely find that once the ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD tag is set, it'll start working, so this needs to move to udev to figure out why it isn't set in the first place.
for the systemd bug, see: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8259
Systemd PR is merged, should go out in systemd-238 to-be-released-soon.
I'm not using systemd, but openrc. ^^" Anyway I wrote a udev rule to set ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD and now the touchpad works, but the rightclick (two-finger-click) doesn't work correct, it seems only to work once after connecting and subsequent rightclicks are not recognized..
