    Build in libinput instead of evdev driver for gtk installer
    
    Touchpad is not working in gtk installer at least for arm64 and amd64
    as reported.  Replacing xorg evdev input driver with libinput fixes
    the issue.  It should be an issue for other architectures too, so the
    fix is applied to all architectures.
