My laptop has a touchscreen but I do not use this. How do I disable this functionality? I use Arch Linux. I figured I could try removing the related driver. According to this page the possible drivers are all named xf86-input*. However, it looks like I have nothing like that installed: # pacman -Qs xf86-input local/xf86-input-evdev 2.8.3-1 (xorg-drivers xorg) X.org evdev input driver local/xf86-input-joystick 1.6.2-3 (xorg-drivers xorg) X.Org Joystick input driver local/xf86-input-keyboard 1.8.0-2 (xorg-drivers xorg) X.Org keyboard input driver local/xf86-input-mouse 1.9.0-2 (xorg-drivers xorg) X.org mouse input driver local/xf86-input-synaptics 1.7.5-1 (xorg-drivers xorg) Synaptics driver for notebook touchpads local/xf86-input-vmmouse 13.0.0-3 (xorg-drivers xorg) X.org VMWare Mouse input driver local/xf86-input-void 1.4.0-6 (xorg-drivers xorg) X.org void input driver Any idea how I can track down the responsible driver or in some other way disable the touch screen functionality?
