Disable touchscreen? #181

Closed colemickens closed 7 years ago

colemickens commented 7 years ago

Is there a generic linux way to disable a touchscreen? If not, is there a linux-samus-specific way of doing so?

Thanks in advance.

xinput works well for that. Run xinput - get the device ID for the touchscreen:

❯ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Atmel maXTouch Touchpad                   id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Atmel maXTouch Touchscreen                id=10   [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)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ NCM-G102                                  id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]

Here it's 10. And disable it:

xinput disable 10

Scripting this is left as an exercise to the reader ;) (you'll need to run this on each reboot)

Doh, right, but I'm in Wayland, which means libinput, which means I have to configure it through GNOME and GNOME, of course, doesn't expose a knob for this.

Thanks @raphael. Closing this as it's not pixel specific/related at all.
