Bug#875621: linux: ThinkPad X270 Synaptics touchpad: please enable CONFIG_RMI4_SMB

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

I have a Thinkpad T550 and initially had a similar issue:

With the stock kernel in Sid:

dmesg |grep psmouse

psmouse serio1: synaptics: The touchpad can support a better bus than 
the too old PS/2 protocol. Make sure MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS and 
RMI4_SMB are enabled to get a better touchpad experience.
psmouse serio1: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.1, id: 0x1e2b1, 
caps: 0xf003a3/0x943300/0x12e800/0x10000, board id: 3053, fw id: 2560
psmouse serio1: synaptics: serio: Synaptics pass-through port at 
isa0060/serio1/input0
psmouse serio2: trackpoint: IBM TrackPoint firmware: 0x0e, buttons: 3/3

I built a new kernel 'the Debian way' and now everything looks good:

egrep 'MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS|RMI4_SMB' /boot/config-4.19.16
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS=y
CONFIG_RMI4_SMB=y

That said, I don't really notice any different behavior with the 
touchpad :-)

The touchpad and the trackpoint still work but I haven't figured out how 
to enable edge scrolling, circular scrolling, nor to set features like 
sensitivity.

Someone above stated that he installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.  
That package has been depcrecated by xserver-xorg-input-libinput:

apt-cache show xserver-xorg-input-libinput
...
  This package provides the driver for input devices using libinput library.
  It can handle keyboards, mice and touchpads, and essentially replaces the
  separate -evdev and -synaptics drivers.
