Hyperpixel4, Pi Pi3B, RaspiOS 64 bit BULLSEYE

Can I disable the touch and use GPIOS 10,11 and 27 for other purposes eg a fan control ?

If I run xinput I see 2 entries for Goodix Capacitive Touchscreen as id=6 and id=11.

Can I simply disable them with xinput and use the GPIO 10,11 and 27 for other purposes ?

or is there another way ?

Fixed.

After advice on the raspberrypi forum adding

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dpi-hyperpixel4,disable-touch

Appears to work fine.
