Fix possible error in settings documentation

Hi, I'm new to the Xfce community, but I have worked through a detailed Arch install with the Xfce DE.

In the "Xfce settings -> mouse and touchpad" documentation I saw this note: "Currently only touchpads using the Synaptics driver are supported."

I don't think this is true. The Synaptics driver has been deprecated in favor of libinput and is no longer being maintained. On my install the "xf86-input-synaptics" package is not installed as a dependency for anything.

I looked for a talk page in the Wiki, but I was unable to find one, so I am asking here. Is there a better place to discuss this?

Good catch, I think you are correct. You can file a bug report on https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ and in the Product dropdown list select WWW - docs.xfce.org
