I have a Surface Go tablet that I switched over to Linux a while back, and just came across a problem that I don’t know how to approach. I use an iDataLink Maestro module in my car to make an aftermarket stereo do what I want it to do. I want to check for a firmware update on it, but the management software tool is windows or mac only.
So I installed WINE and the PlayonLinux front end. I successfully installed the tool (Weblink) but the keyboard doesn’t work so I can’t log into it. The trackpad works though, and this is a directly connected keyboard/trackpad, so for one to work but not the other seems weird. I can find threads about non-functional keyboards with some games, but I honestly don’t understand the guidance being dished out.
How can I troubleshoot and fix this keyboard issue?
I run Mint and the touchscreen and pen both work. I haven’t tried anything with the web cam to confirm or deny that one.
The system programs let you scroll on the touch screen (looking through the app store for example) but, frustratingly, Firefox doesn’t support this. I haven’t looked too hard for an alternative or work around though.
Okay thank you. Firefox does support it, but you have to change a setting to make it scroll instead of select text. I remember that from my regular laptop touch screen install. I don’t remember what the setting is, but I’m sure you can find it with a quick search.
