Disable the touchscreen of a hp Pavilion 23 (Solved)

[peppyy]

On my wife's hp Pavilion 23 all in one I am trying to disable the touchscreen. Here is the output from xinput.

Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech M310 id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech K520 id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech Optical USB Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ NextWindow Touchscreen touch id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ NextWindow Touchscreen Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ NextWindow Touchscreen id=14 [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)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HP High Definition 1MP Webcam: id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=16 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Logitech K520

I blacklisted the hid-touchscreen module and that didn't help. I am guessing there must be a way to disable it using id=12, id=13 and id=14 somewhere in xorg but I can't track it down.
Where and how do I disable this?

What not to try
I read that you can edit the MatchIsTouchscreen "on" to "off" in etc/x11/xorg.config.d/90-touchscreen-rightclick.conf

Didn't turn the touchscreen off, but it did kill the keyboard and mouse. My wife was not amused.
I was happy that puppy has an on screen keyboard that works on the touchscreen so I could edit it back to "on".

One of the best chuckles I have has in quite a while.
Still no luck shutting it off though.

Try this.

I do not have a touchscreen to fully check this, but they report it working in this topic.

@bigpup doing this and restarting x looks encouraging

This solution appears to work.
in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
add the line Option "ignore" "on"

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection

Thanks, I looked everywhere until you found it on the old forum. The person who asked the question was Joey Bloggz
