Disable Touch Screen On A Netbook Laptop?

Support
1

Hi,

I installed Manjaro KDE 64Bit onto an old ASUS Netbook laptop.
I want to disable the touch screen.
The BIOS does not have an option to do the above.
Anyone know how to do the above?
Thanks!

Disable touchscreen at boot on Lenovo Yoga S1

Execute:

$ xinput list

and find your touchscreen device and take note on its id, should be under “Virtual core pointer” section. Then:

$ xinput list-prop <id>

find the propery “Device enabled” and again take note on its id. Finally:

$ xinput set-prop <touchscreen id> <device enabled id> 0

done. Your touchscreen should be disabled now. Feel free to make a systemd service, startup script or udev rule that executes above lines to automatically disable it at GUI boot or whatever timing you wish.
