Ok, thanks, I'll look into that. Quick question - is that libinput
scriptable or I need to recompile it anyway?

Is this different from touchpad? I am asking as the touchpad settings are
system wide and it works the same everywhere but there is no such control
over the touchscreen behaviour and I wonder why... I expected touchpad and
touchscreen to share same settings or each to have own settings and neither
seems to be the case.

I did that already actually. This thing stays silent for a while and starts
sending events constantly, may be a hardware problem.
