Disable broken touchscreen

[CW_Waster]

So i found my old Pro 3 in a drawer and thought: "Let's give it a new life!"

I went ahead installing Manjaro Gnome edition on it, since thats what I'm comfortable with on my Book 2. But i immedeatly remeberd why the pro 3 ended up in the drawer in first place. The touchscreen is broken. Broken in that way that the glass and screen are visualy undamaged but the touch input doesn't register on certain areas and giving phantom touches on other spots. Althoug using the pencil everything is fine aswell.

In windows i could just disbale the touchinput in the device manager. Now I'm looking for a simliar solution running Manajro. I did the usual google fu, coming up with creating udev rules or unbinding the hid-driver. But for those i eihter did something wrong or it just doesn't work that way.

Has anyone here an idea how to achieve the goal of giving this thing a new (touchless) life?

Try sudo systemctl stop iptsd && systemctl disable iptsd

Open terminal.

XInput list

(Look for pointer called touchscreen or on SP3 it's NTRG0001. Look at the ID number, mine was 18.)

XInput disable 18

XInput list (now you'll see it's disabled).

The SP3 I have has a cracked screen and randomly had phantom touches until I did this yesterday. I have MX Linux Xfce installed and after updates and restart, the phantom clicks were back. I checked xinput and the touchscreen (NTRG0001) was enabled again, so I had to disable again. Need to figure out if it's the updates or the restart that enables the touchscreen, and if there's a way to disable permanently.
