Is it still possible to use synaptics for touchpad driver with Ubuntu 20.04LTS? I have installed server-xorg-input-synaptics, renamed files so that synaptics has priority over libinput

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d$ ls
10-amdgpu.conf  10-radeon.conf     31-synaptics-quirks.conf  40-libinput.conf~
10-quirks.conf  30-synaptics.conf  40-libinput.conf          70-wacom.conf

restarted but I still have the error

$ synclient
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

The situation hasn't changed since from libinput to synaptics in 18-04: some users have problems, some have none. I don't know why.

I installed and for some reason it did not work so I renamed the files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d as shown above but this did not work either.

Anyway, after removing, installing again, restarting, synaptics drives the touchpad and the standard configuration is already good.
