I'm  affraid  to disable something wrong, that's why I asked

Do not run X11 or graphical sessions a root.

Firstly I didn't and then I tried as root to see if something else appear. Then I post here with root

Can I ask you why I should not do this ?

thanks mates

Re: [SOLVED] Disable touchscreen

Because it's a major security risk. GUI code is vast and buggy.

If you disable the "wrong" device, you can just re-enable it and try the next.
