Disable Touchscreen on Ubuntu
Follow this process to disable touchscreen on Ubuntu.
Go to the terminal and type man xinput
It says that xinput
is a utility to configure and test X input devices.
It has a lot of options but the one we are interested in is list
Then do this:
xinput --list
It will show you something like this:
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Raydium Corporation Raydium Touch System id=15 [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)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated Camera id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
Find the touchscreen system id and disable it.
I initially got confused between choosing Touchpad and Touch System. I looked up Raydium Corporation and indeed they do touch screens.
In my case the id
is 15
So I did this:
xinput disable 15
If you feel like you made a mistake and cannot live without the touchscreen then just do the opposite:
xinput enable 15
Using obviously the id
that corresponds to your config.
