Description Ondrej Holy 2015-04-08 12:04:15 UTC 
Whole touchpad section disappears in g-c-c if touchpad is disabled and consequently it isn't possible to enable the touchpad from UI. It occurs probably only if xorg-x11-drv-synaptics is used. It was caused by the port to GsdDeviceManager recently:

Bug 747504 can fix it...
Comment 2 Ondrej Holy 2015-04-21 11:45:04 UTC 
GsdDeviceManager doesn't list the disabled devices, respectively GdkDeviceManager doesn't list them. Isn't this rather gdk bug? Shouldn't be disabled devices also listed?

We can use touchpad_is_present() conditionally for x11, and have_device_type() for wayland to fix this issue... do you like it?
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2015-04-21 12:54:42 UTC 
This isn't an x11 vs. wayland problem, it's a synaptics vs. libinput X11 driver problem. If we don't set the "Device Enabled" property, then the device doesn't disappear from the list, and there's nothing else to be done.
