This works:

xinput --set-prop 'eGalax Inc. eGalaxTouch EXC7903-66v03_T1' 'Device
Enabled' 0

That didn't work until I noticed the following lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

[    11.792] (**) eGalax Inc. eGalaxTouch EXC7903-66v03_T1: Applying
InputClass "Annoying Touch Screen"
[    11.792] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[    11.792] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.

So I did some Googling and found the driver:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier      "Annoying Touch Screen"
    Driver          "egalax"
    MatchProduct    "eGalax Inc. eGalaxTouch EXC7903-66v03_T1"

    Option          "DeviceEnabled" "0"
EndSection


This works.

Thanks,
