Topic: Touchpad doesn't work (cursor does not move)

Hi all . I wanted to know which of the solutions works today?
I saw two solutions to this issue.

First solution:

doas usermod -aG input [USERNAME]
$ doas nano  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-touchpad.conf
ection "InputClass"
        Identifier      "laplet touchpad"
        MatchIsTouchpad "yes"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "ClickPad"              "yes"
#       Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/event19"
        Option          "HorizEdgeScroll"       "yes"
        Option          "LockedDrags"           "no"
        Option          "PalmDetect"            "yes"
        Option          "PalmMinWidth"          "8"
        Option          "PalmMinZ"              "100"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "TapButton1"            "1"
        Option          "TapButton2"            "3"
        Option          "TapButton3"            "2"
        Option          "TouchpadOff"           "0"
        Option          "VertEdgeScroll"        "yes"
EndSection

Second solution:

doas usermod -aG input [USERNAME]

Solved. Just had to set it up.

    Touchpad Synaptics - ArchWiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Touchpad_Synaptics

$ doas nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
EndSection

Do I need to download drivers xenocara-input-synaptics ? Or is this configuration sufficient?
