Hey, so I’ve been looking at so many different forums, and it looks the like problem I am running into is something about my hardware. I want to enable track pad while typing, and I’ve been trying xinput, but it will not list my track pad in its list. libinput will show my track pad and the properties, but I cannot edit using libinput, this only verifies that my track pad does exist on my system, just that xinput is not seeing it. When I enter the command xinput-list or just xinput it displays this in the terminal:
WARNING: running xinput against an Xwayland server. See the xinput man page for details.

Every forum I have come across shows actual devices, not whatever this is. Sorry if this is a problem that is already solved or something dumb, but I’ve been trying to solve this for for over 2 hours now.

Strong of its many members, the Manjaro support forum can provide you help whenever you have an issue with your Manjaro installation. But in order to work efficiently, we shall also ask you to follow three major points.
It usually makes sense to also include some system information, ie;
inxi -Farz
As to your (original) issue;
Thats simple enough. An example:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "Tapping" "on"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "0"
EndSection
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libinput#Enable_the_touchpad_while_typing
Sorry for not elaborating on this issue as well. It seems that the config file for xinput is also not functioning normally. Simply by going to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d displays only 00-keyboard.conf while viewing it using vim. The issue may be linked to the emptiness of the file. I have tried repairing xorg before, but I am met with the same issue.
That explains something…
Wayland on Xfce is experimental at best …
https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap
The Xfce GitLab is tracking the milestone changes for Xfce 4.20. The Xfce 4.20 schedule remains “TODO” at this point.https://www.phoronix.com/news/Xfce-4.20-Wayland-Roadmap

Well … then you dont have any such configuration file.
Also thank you for adding text output.
I agree that if you are using wayland this could contribute to odd showings of xinput as well as should probably be avoided on xfce for now.
Have you tried starting an Xorg session ?
So Wayland will not work, because they haven’t worked on this yet? Even if I manually add files, it will still run using Wayland. Do I have to remove it? It installed with xorg, so there should be a lot of dependencies associated with it. Where could I look to find out how to workaround Wayland?
Perhaps you could describe what the actual problem is - the goal you want to achieve.inxi -Fzay
I’m just going to paste the entire result for this command for pure analysis, and I can edit this to only show possible conflictions for forum organization later.inxi -Fzay results with this:

Now we know why you are in a wayland session.
xorg is just not the default - but you can switch to it somewhere on the login screen
