I understand there are a large amount of questions regarding disabling the touchscreens and I've yet to find a useful answer from any of them.
I have come so far as to find what seems to be the correct file for the actual touchscreen, however, I am unsure for general lack of knowledge for how these drivers are placed in the filesystem.
I ran the following to find the file
sudo xinput list
This returned what I already knew to be what I want disabled.
G2Touch Multi-Touch by G2TSP id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
I then ran the following three separate inputs to no avail.
sudo xinput disable 9
sudo xinput --disable G2Touch Multi-Touch by G2TSP
sudo xinput disable G2Touch Multi-Touch by G2TSP
None of those commands worked so I searched around to find some random chance that I'd be able to identify the source file for my issue. I found the following commands.
sudo modprobe -r hid multitouch, and separately I tried lsusb
The lsusb command returned a resulting statement of the following.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2a94:5009 G2Touch Multi-Touch by G2TSP
Once I did that, I followed someones answer to a similar question and manually searched for the pathway of:
/sys/bus/hid/drivers/hid-generic (this is odd because they didn't a "hid-generic" file.)
I ran the ls -l command and it gave me this exceptionally weird block of information that I have zero clue of how to identify.

Hopefully this is nothing important that I should be keeping secure, but I'm at a loss for words on how difficult this has been to turn a touchscreen off/on.
Regardless if this is too much information or not, I figured it would be best to walk the reader through every step I've taken so far. Just in case of the possibility that I messed something up.
Can someone please help me figure out what I'm looking at so I can get this touchscreen disabled, before I haphazardly wipe 3-4 more hours of education off of my screen in the wrong press of the screen. Thank you :)
