Enable / disable touch in the operating system

Enable / disable touch in the operating system

Overview

DISPLAX Service allows you to enable or disable touch injection at the operating system level. This setting controls whether touch input from the DISPLAX touch controller is sent to and processed by the OS.

When touch injection is disabled, the touch controller remains connected and powered, but no touch events are delivered to the operating system.


Check Touch Injection Status

To see whether touch injection is currently enabled in the operating system, run:

displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --tcenable

This command returns the current touch injection status.


Enable Touch Injection in the OS

To allow touch input to be processed by the operating system, run:

displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --tcenable 1

Touch events from the controller will now be injected into the OS.


Disable Touch Injection in the OS

To stop touch input from being sent to the operating system, run:

displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --tcenable 0

No touch events will be processed by the OS until touch injection is enabled again.


Best Practices

  • Always verify touch status after maintenance or calibration.

  • Re-enable touch injection before handing the system back to end users.

  • Combine this setting with popup warnings or auto-save preferences in DISPLAX Connect for safer operation.
