Sounds like your original problem is not specific to Android, and you're making this an [XY problem](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem). What you should really do is unhook the touchscreen cable, and that solves it for all 3 operating systems. On the laptops I've worked on, the ribbon cables for the screen are detachable from both ends: behind the LCD panel, and on the motherboard. Find out which is easiest to get to on your laptop by searching for disassembly videos, or just by removing screws until you get to it. If this *is* an Android-specific problem for you, you'll want to take a look at `/dev/input/event0` and `event1` and `event2` and so on. Figure out which `event` corresponds to your touchscreen by using the `getevent -i` command from a shell terminal to read the descriptions, and `getevent` without the -i to track all inputs, touches, accelerometer movements, etc. in live action to narrow down which event is touchscreen. I have not verified this, but you might be able to disable the culprit driver by changing permissions on the `eventXXXXX` file to read-only with a root file browser. I also just found an app that seems promising: [Touch Blocker - Google Play][1]<br>But I'm 99% sure that will prevent using the mouse as well.
