Installed Deb12 w/XFCE on an 10 year-old ASUS laptop today. But navigation is not working w.touchpad. The mouse tracks on the touchpad, but right-click, left-click touchpad buttons do nothing. Even double-tap seems lost. My backup mouse is bluetooth, and since I can’t get into settings through the GUI, that’s a fail.

Any CLI tricks to enable the touchpad? Maybe my sources.list is missing firmware, but so hard to get around with keyboard alone.
