I tried adding:
xinput set-prop DEVICEID "Device Enabled" 0
where DEVICEID is a number taken after running the command xinput
to ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart in lubuntu 16.04.
but what actually worked was:
xinput --disable DEVICEID
The question is, what is causing the first command I tried to fail, how would I get commands like that to work?
Note: what this command does after placing it in the autostart file, is that it disables the device on OS startup.
