Bionic Beaver Questions...

[GusCE6]

Much to my astonishment I actually managed to install Bionic Beaver.

Okay, VLC installed since default media player is inferior to one on Puppy Linux 6.3.0...

Now the tricky ones:

1) The touchpad will not right-click. How do I handle this?

2) WINE: how do I run both 64-Bit and 32-Bit?

3) DOSBox for this distro?

I have to leave right now, but these are good starters. Thank you all, this is great. Hopefully I can still use Puppy Linux 6.3.0 via USB stick, don't see why not...

The blurb below is actually for Linux Mint 21.3

It is worth a look to see if the drivers used are the same....if they are then the same approach is worth a try

Touchpad drivers​

The default touchpad driver in this edition is "libinput" (provided by the xserver-xorg-input-libinput package).

If you experience problems with it, you can switch to another driver called "synaptics" (provided by the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package).

To know which driver is used by your input devices, run the following command:

grep -i "Using input driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

When both drivers are installed, "synaptics" takes priority.

To switch to the "synaptics" driver, install it with the command:

apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Then log out and log back in.

To go back to using "libinput", simply remove the "synaptics" driver:

apt remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Then log out and log back in.

Note: You can also try installing the "evdev" driver (provided by the xserver-xorg-input-evdev).

Folks support for Bionic Beaver ended April 2023, if you use it you put yourself at risk.
