Do you have installed xorg-xinput ? Try without it if so.

I assume because of https://www.reddit.com/r/hyprland/comme … onnection/ ?
"blame xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland"
xorg-xinput installs a license, a manpage and /usr/bin/xinput - there's no sane way how this could even remotely trip of some random, let alone wayland-specific, XDG portal service. Even if that service was extra-stupid, it would have to take a detour around Australia to get anywhere near xinput.
There's gonna be something else.

use sddm to log in hyprland and use the Hyde hyprdot，i don't konw more about hyprland!

1. disable SDDM and start hyprland manually, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland#Terminal
2. remove the foreign dotfiles.

Does either of those (try them separately) allow you to run xdph?
Also please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

lol it's funny when Wayland has nothing to do with X, the whole point of Wayland was to replace X all together; it would be utterly stupid for a developer working on Wayland or packages that rely on Wayland to lead back to X haha. Nah I don't think those two are related, can't be. Has to be something else so i totally agree with you.

XWayland and xinput could be related to each other but not directly related to Wayland which is separate from X all together.
