[Trisquel-users] How to disable DVD player in Trisquel?

[elkingrey]

Hey there!

I've got a ThinkPenguin laptop which I love. Only problem is that it has a  
DVD player that has a button on it and the button keeps getting accidentally  
pushed, which ejects the DVD player tray. Super annoying.

I suppose I *could* open the laptop and disable the wires to the motherboard,  
but I'd rather not. Was hoping there is a way to disable the DVD player  
through the software side using Trisquel, by like, not automatically starting  
up on boot or something. Then I could easily re-enable it if I need it again,  
which is rare.

Any help is appreciated!
