Currently when I use it clicking the left mouse click button starts bringing up the right mouse click menu (which then causes me to inadvertently open all sorts). If I continue to try to use it for any length of time all mouse buttons become completely unresponsive. This is currently making the gui pretty much unusable.
Hhas anyone seen this behavior before and know how I can fix it ?
It came with it set up for a UK keyboard, but has a US one, so I have changed the keyboard layout from UK to US - not sure if that may have triggered the issue.
I also got problems with mouse and clicks. I solved the problems by upgrading more recent kernel 4.18.16-gnu. I have now 4.19-gnu no problems as well.
How to upgrade your libre kernel you can read here https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
It is very easy to do.
Hi
Thank you for the reply.
I followed the instructions and upgraded to 4.19. However the problem has if anything got worse - simply a movement of the mouse can instigate repeated appearance of right click menu resulting multitudes of new folders being created.
The gui is pretty much unusable.
Does anyone know or have any idea of what is causing this ? Are there any mouse click settings which might be messing this up ?
Have you tried disabling the trackpad (I guess there is a Fn+F[some number] for that) and using a USB mouse?
Thank you for the reply.
Fn-F8 disables the touchpad and indeed if I disable it I can use a USB mouse fine.
This suggests to me that there is something up with the touchpad itself, so I will probably end up having to send it back.
However before I do that I'd like to check whether I have a correct driver installed and also re-install it to see if it is a driver issue.
Does anyone know which driver should be being used for the touchpad, how I can tell I am using the correct one and where I can get the correct one if the wrong one is currently installed ?
