[SOLVED]Turning off faoulty touchscreen

[SOLVED]Turning off faoulty touchscreen

Postby mackowiakp » Sep 10th, '23, 13:15

One more problem. I think the last one.
I upgraded to M9 on an All-in-One computer that has a faoulty touchscreen.
This causes the mouse pointer to jump randomly.
In the M8, I managed to eliminate it myself by disabling the touchscreen in the X11 configuration.
I did it according to my own post:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12729

However, after the upgrade, I did not find any configuration file containing "Touchscreen" in the /etc/X11 directory.
So how can I disable this touchscreen?

By chance, have you checked if there is a BIOS setting for enable/disable it?

Well, then create one. Also if you read your linked thread
you edited /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf (which should probably better be copied to /usr/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and then edited) and nothing below /etc.

Solved but another file content is necessary. Dont know why...

Code: Select all
[root@Gosia xorg.conf.d]# cat 40-libinput.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier         "Touchscreen catchall"
    MatchIsTouchscreen "on"

    Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection
