I am trying to disable the touchscreen on my Asus S200E laptop. In Ubuntu 16.04, I was able to do so with this:



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


How can this be done on Ubuntu 18.04?

          It appears as if you are referring to files located at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. Perhaps the libinput driver was recently updated to support your touchscreen?



          Probably you want to edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf with:



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


          And /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf with:



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


          If that does not work, get the name of your touchscreen with xinput, and add one of the following commands to a startup script:



          xinput set-prop [touchscreen] "Device Enabled" 0
          xinput disable [touchscreen]
