Oh - also, Steve

Not quite running as hot as the QSI suggests! ;)

As for the 2GB RAM...yes, that's true, but then I wouldn't be able to run as many programs on it as I'd be limited by the 32-bit only concern.

2GB is OK for everyday stuff...just can't have more than a few tabs open at once! It ...

I might have solved it!

Thanks for the replies folks - I found an earlier post somewhere that lead me in the right direction in that this machine has an Elan touchpad and uses the elan_i2c kernel module.

Somebody elsewhere in the past on a different post suggested to the OP in a thread to try ...

I seem to recall a post that mentioned changing Fast Boot in the PC's BIOS from minimal/off to a different setting, got the touchpad working.

Another case I recall was there were two firmware (drivers) available to the user. One of them gave fewer features than the other (libinput vs synaptic ...

Just an update - I looked in the BIOS to see if there were any settings that would help. Nothing that I can see.

Might try and see if I can find a BIOS update for it as I am not sure if it has the most recent one it can run or not, but not sure if that would make any difference.

Anyone have any ...

My apologies, was posting that before I briefly stepped out the door and forgot!

Title says it all!

Trying to set up a little bare-bones ASUS X205T laptop for an elderly friend of the family. MX is working great on it despite the meager hardware specs. Everything works fine other than a few minor glitches with sound....and the touchpad.

The touchpad is the big one. It works ...

This probably explain why i cannot get redshift to work on my newly installed MX23.4..


i've not used redshift, but possibly some helpful info here: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=789802#p789802


Sort of. The geoclue long/lat method didnt work.

However, making ~/.config ...

Thanks for the reply. MX Cleanup is only showing one kernel that can be removed though....but the Terminal command I mentioned in my first post implies that there are like...15 kernels that I could remove?

Copy/paste from that Terminal window:

No worries, thanks anyway!

yes, probably.

using "apt purge" along with the kernel package name should also clear those out, assuming you haven't cleared out the cache files that point to those package info. but deleting manually should be safe as long as its not a kernel that is currently installed.


I guess part of my ...
