Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "nullpointer"
Driver "void"
Option "CorePointer" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mimoTouch"
MatchIsTouchscreen "true"
Option "InvertY" "true"
Option "Calibration" "1252 31534 1598 31680"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "nokeyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "true"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "nomouse"
MatchIsPointer "true"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
EndSection
So I have 3 InputClasses - 2 to disable standard devices, 1 to configure
the touchscreen and one "void" InputDevice to disable the default core
pointer (which would otherwise use /dev/input/mice). Looks a bit like a
hack to me, but works.
