[SOLVED]Trackpad cursor not moving, but able to click

Hellos,

I have just dual booted arch with windows 10 and after a lot of difficulties I got GDM running on xorg. The problem is now my trackpad (windows precision) doesnt work correctly. I can click but not move it.  It is worth mentioning that the first time I booted GDM it was working correctly but the machine froze after logging in. Now that issue is fixed.

I have scoured the forums and installed libinput etc but to no avail .

Output of xinput:

 
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ CUST0001:00 06CB:CDAA Touchpad          	id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse         	id=12	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse Consumer Control	id=14	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                            	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse Keyboard	id=13	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse System Control	id=15	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=16	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ MSI WMI hotkeys                         	id=17	[slave  keyboard (3)]

As you can see the touchpad shows up. I believe that it has something to do with the contents of xorg.conf.d as earlier that folder was empty and neither the keyboard or the mouse was working. But I might be wrong.
I understand people have faced these issues before but I am only posting here as a last resort.
Thanks !

Edit: Fixed it by installing libinput and blacklisting i2c_hid
