Is There a Way to Disable Part of Touch Screen?

[Eastlunder]

My surface has a crack in a glass in upper right corner and a small bit of touch screen doesn't work. But that's not that important, I can live without touching that corner. Real problem is, that on that crack i am getting ghost touches (it looks like an invisible finger touching the screen). When this happens (it doesn't happen all the time), surface is quite unusable.

I know that touch can be disabled, but that would make my surface a netbok. Is there any way to disable only part of the touch area, maybe with some registry/driver/configuration hack? I would gladly trade an inch of touch, if I could get rid of that ghost

Would have to write it into the drivers itself to make an adjustment like that, so guessing nothing exists to do what you are requesting sadly.

What about somehow telling it to ignore touch if it is pressed more than 2 seconds, or anything similar?

Edit: some guy managed to do something similar that I wrote in first post on android tablet: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1r2zha/how_i_managed_to_use_my_android_device_with_a
