Any xorg config wizards here?

I have a touchscreen (attached to a Pi, if relevant) that will show web pages in a kiosky way. That means I want to disable everything that the touchscreen can do beyond point and click. That is, I want to get rid of any right-click emulation, click&drag to select, multi-touch, etc.

Bit of a long shot but my Googling so far isn't throwing up any likely solutions.

I *think* what I want is:

• short press = click
• long press = click (ie no different from short press)
• drag across screen = do nothing (unless very short distance in which

case treat as a click)

• any multi-touch = do nothing

I'm no xorg wizard, but I installed Mint Cinnamon 18 on an HP laptop with a touch screen and it just worked. When I next get hold of it, I could let you have copied of whatever config files you want, as there might be clues on there.
