I have a touchscreen, but the drivers are not working properly and interfere with my mouse.
Is it possible to disable my touchscreen , so that I can work again properly?
You can try disabling the input device with the xinput command. First see what input devices you have, just type:
xinput
And you should see a list like:
$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Atmel Atmel maXTouch Digitizer id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
...
Then you can disable the input device you want with this command:
xinput disable 9
Where 9 is the id of the device you want to disable. You can also use the device name between quotes.
In xinput version 1.5.99.1 , you need to do xinput set-prop 9 'Device Enabled' 0 instead. Oddly on xinput v1.6.2 the first way work.
