Hi, I'm looking for a way to Disable touch/mouse events in Xorg because it's quite inconvenient for me. Can anyone help me with this? I am using piCore64-13.1. Thank

Hi brentosmond
Welcome to the forum.

That's one of my pet peeves too. I use the attached script to disable
my touchpad. I keep the script in ~/.local/bin. I have a file called  touchpad
in  ~/.X.d/  which contains the line:
Code: [Select]
Touchpad.sh OffThat command gets executed automatically after  X  starts.

You just need to setup 2 variables,  TouchpadName  and  PropertyName.
Read the comments in the script to find out how to obtain their values.

Hello Brentosmond ,

......there are some  brands of hardware that take "double click" at Track Pad top Left corner..........that disables the touch pad completely...( from the OS )

i hope that it is somehow a help.

One  could DOCK the mouse pointer somehow?.......then color the pointer so it's blended and not visible?
