  • thanks for your reply slm. i know we can disable keyboard via xinput but how can i get id information from udev ? Commented Dec 20, 2013 at 10:26
  • @ibasaran - you have to go through the output you posted and determine which device is your keyboard. You can then make a corresponding .rules file and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d/. The key info is the rule needs to have OPTIONS+="ignore_device" in it so that UDEV will effectively disable the keyboard device. Commented Dec 20, 2013 at 12:51
