Turn off touch mode on Intuous Pro

We've got the new intuos pro tablets, running 2015 on z800's. Problem is the touch mode turns itself on occasionally. Local support has altered the xorg so that the pen doesn't work as a touch signal, but the tablet is still active. Is there a way to turn off touch in linux?

Comment out the 'touch' entry in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf near the top, like:

 

#  InputDevice "touch" "SendCoreEvents"

 

and then reboot -- unless that's all support did, I'm not sure what you mean exactly by 'so the pen doesn't work as a touch signal...'

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately that didn't work. The tablet would stay on "touch" and when you brushed your hand across it interfere with Flame.

 

Local support came back in and adjusted the PAD & TOUCH settings in xorg as below

This worked and disabled the touch function completely.

 

I'd love to be able to program the buttons to be hotkeys in the future.

Reinstall the DKU and reboot usually works for me. Or just reboot after you plug the new tablet device if the machine was turn on.
By default, touch mode is set to off by the DKU installer.

open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and look for the following section : -
 
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touch"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Type" "touch"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom-touch"
Option "USB" "on"
# Option "Rotate" "HALF"
# Option "ScreenNo" "0"
# Option "TwinView" "horizontal"
Option "Touch" "off"
EndSection
 
In the second last line, if Option “Touch” is set to “on” set it to “off” and restart the graphics or reboot the system.
