Dell XPS 9530 touchscreen not working on 20.04

I had it working on my previous Ubuntu 16.04 installation, but I can't remember how I made it work (and if I did anything to make it work).

  • lsusb gives me:

    Bus 003 Device 003: ID 06cb:0ac3 Synaptics, Inc. Synaptics Large Touch Screen
  • xinput list gives me:

    ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
    ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
    ⎜ ↳ Logitech M325 id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
    ⎜ ↳ SYNAPTICS Synaptics Large Touch Screen Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
    ⎜ ↳ SYNAPTICS Synaptics Large Touch Screen id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
    ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)]
  • /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf has:

    Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall" MatchIsTouchscreen "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput"
    EndSection
  • I have xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed.

  • I ran xinput_calibrator but it's not responding to my touch.

What am I missing?
