Hello,

I am trying to also use the BeagleBone ADC along with an LCD screen that 
has touch functionality. I've decided that the touch functionality isn't 
important and would rather disable it to give me full access to the 
internal ADC. The screen is the 4DCape-43T. I would like a little bit of 
guidance trying to alter the device tree for the LCD to disable the touch 
functionality. Where is the device tree located for the display? If anyone 
knows the exact code to change, that would be welcomed advice, also. I am a 
little inexperienced with the BeagleBone Black, so I'm a little confused 
about how to do this. It would be a life saver if anyone could help!

Thanks,
Steven
