    Disable touchscreen in Kali?

    I'm using Kali live booting from a USB pen, on a HP Pavillion Touchsmart netbook with a damaged touchscreen. On Windows I have disabled the input device so it no longer interferes, however after searching the web I haven't found a solution. I need to disable the touchscreen and ensure that it is disabled persistently after a reboot. The xinput command yields a 'not found' output.

    If anyone can help me please respond!

    Thanks in advance!

    Update: I've hard installed Kali to a partition on my hard drive, however after editing the evdev config file with the 'option ignore on' line as found in multiple threads, I still seem to be encountering problems caused by the touchscreen after a reboot.
