Blanks screen on powersaveNext I've disabled the power management. As it seems to keep leaving me with blank screen from which i'm to force a reboot. This does seem to prevent the black screen.
System tray | click the battery icon | Untick "Enable Power Management"
Mouse fixNext I implemented the mouse fix from here...
https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35185Here's a script to update and upgrade + add the support for the above help topic.
1. create a file called 40-libinput.conf on your sdcard
[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"
MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "mtrack"
Option "ScrollDistance" "40"
Option "FingerLow" "1"
Option "FingerHigh" "2"
Option "Sensitivity" "1.8"
Option "BottomEdge" "0"
Option "SwipeDistance" "100"
Option "ScaleDistance" "40"
Option "ButtonMoveEmulate" "false"
Option "ClickTime" "25"
Option "MaxTapMove" "55"
Option "EdgeBottomSize" "0"
EndSection[/div]
Create a file call mouse.sh on your SDcard
[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']#!/bin/bash
echo cosmopda 127.0.0.1 >> /etc/hosts #Stops sudo complaining!
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-mtrack
cp 40-libinput.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.con/40-libinput.conf
shutdown -r now #This reboot applies the changes. the service restart didn't work for me[/div]
Open a terminal
move to the sdcard location you saved the above files. (mine is here... cd /media/cosmo/3B3A-191B your's may be different)
sudo su #and enter the password for cosmo
. mouse.sh
Hope someone finds this useful. I've copy typed from my cosmo cos i was too lazy to copy file across hopefully there's no typos...
This makes the mouse behave more like a VNC session and not stick to your finger like the default one does. For some reason i was having difficulty getting to the screen extents top and bottom. I like this solution better. You also get gestures for left mouse click etc. I didn't turn off the mouse acceleration in LXQT or build from source. I just used the default debian driver. If you save the 2 script files to your SD card you'll be able to reapply these changes back quickly should you default and start again.
If anyone has any info on how to stop the Wifi card getting a new mac address after each boot. This could save me some agro I've posted about it here.

Hey Dev's great job. I've been longing for the debian release for ages! It's great we finally have it Thanks for all your efforts
