My problem is that i have an external trackpad that goes to “sleep” very quickly (prob about 10 sec’s). After it has gone to sleep, you can not tap the trackpad to click what the cursor is already pointing to on the screen. What you have to do is to slightly move the cursor to “wake-up” the trackpad, before you can then tap-to-click on it. I want to stop the trackpad from going to sleep so quickly, or even stop it going to sleep at all. How do i do this?
from libinput list-devices i found several Hailuck devices listed but i assume that the one i should be looking at is

I was looking for a setting somthing like this but it does not have a “Power button Timeout” (it was suggested by chatgpt)
❱xinput set-prop "Hailuck Co.,Ltd PTP TouchPad Touchpad" "Power Button Timeout" -1
property 'Power Button Timeout' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
I wonder How i can change the behaviour of this “sleep” of the touchpad?
