My touchscreen is cracked, so the pointer continuously clicks on the cracked area. That prevents me from using the computer normally.
I have tried the xinput disable 'ELAN Touchscreen'
command, and even the one specific to the input number (though it should make no difference), yet whenever I do this, touch is re-enabled after only a few seconds.
Is there some way to disable the screen permanently until I decide to turn it on again (when I finally go to fix it)?
xinput set-prop "ELAN Touchscreen" "Device Enabled" 0
