Currently Laptops come with touch screen displays and auto-rotation features. For someone like me this is quiet annoying. Let’s find out how to get rid of these unneccessary features if you don’t need the wacom pens or other tools
How to disable touch:
Lets show you example for ubuntu/debian.
open up terminal and type
xinput
this willshow the list of x-input devices not direct input
Look for something that contains Touch or Wacom Touch. In this case for the given image it is with id=15.
xinput disable 15
Run this in terminal next to disable the touch feature. No reboot requierd.
How to disable auto-roate:
Generally linux handles this with the service called iio-sensor-proxy
to turn it off temporarily for current session you may run the below command
sudo systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy.servicebut since this is a service it’ll run on next system startup. so replace stop with disable and you’re good to go.
sudo systemctl disable iio-sensor-proxy.service
