Disabling PineTab2 physical keyboard and touchpad?
#7
I managed to "disable" the keyboard on my PineTab2 following the instructions here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions...wer-382225

Not sure if the event number is the same for all PineTabs, but in mine the command is:
sudo evtest --grab /dev/input/event4

the problem with this is that you (1) either have to keep your terminal opened or (2) background the evtest job and it will be running on the background until you kill it. I also noticed that when I fold the keyboard backwards the tablet does want to go to suspend but I can get off it.

Let me know if this solutions works better for you.

Hey! Found out another possible solution based on this question here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions...the-laptop

So, in my PineTab2, the command is
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/fd840000.usb/usb/4/4-1/4-1\:1.0/0003\:1018\:1006.0003/input/input15/inhibited'

and do enable:
sudo sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/fd840000.usb/usb/4/4-1/4-1\:1.0/0003\:1018\:1006.0003/input/input15/inhibited'

but make sure to check the correct input path on /proc/bus/input/devices
