So I want to use libinput for my synaptics touchpad instead of xf86-input-synaptics. So this is what I've done:
1- Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
2- Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-libinput.conf with appropriate options
3- Remove xf86-input-synaptics package
4- Make sure xf86-input-libinput is installed
5- Restart
The thing is my touchpad works but it looks like Xorg is still using synaptics instead of libinput.
grep -e "Using input driver " ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
[ 9.918] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'Power Button'
[ 9.934] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'Video Bus'

[ 9.947] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'Dell AIO WMI hotkeys'
[ 10.057] (II) Using input driver 'synaptics' for 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'
How is this possible?
PS: I'm using Gnome if that makes a difference

Are you sure you have the right log file? If you're using a display manager, X usually runs as root with logs in /var/log/.

Hmm turns out the local Xorg log was last updated 2 weeks ago. But I've checked the xorg logs under /var/log and those are not updated as well. So where is the xorg log?

Are you using X? What does 'echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE' return?

Ok I've found that it was ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log not 0.
