10-evdev.conf missing from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

I had used the evdev config to disable my touchscreen , but after a pacman -Syu this file is gone. Is there a new way to permanently disable touchscreen.
Sorry my screen is cracked so the mouse does silly stuff

use the path in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d it will override the /usr/share/... one and the latter is not for local config anyay  (but subject to distro updates, as you figured ;-)

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d does not have the evdev file either

Right.  You need to create the file in that directory.
