Before I go back to windows

my pointer keeps flickering on screen so the touchpad and mose are unusable,
machine is a Lenovo Yoga

yoga has a touchscreen. so there might be an issue with a ghost touch.

use xinput and disable the touch listed.

if the flickering stops while the corsur moves, it might be related to the graphics driver installed.

I will try that later this afternoon, TYVM

XINPUT not found??

It's because you are under Wayland I guess, go in terminal an run this command

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

if it's Wayland do that to switch to Xorg:

  • Logout
  • At the login screen, click your username (don't enter password)
  • Click the gear icon in the bottom right
  • Select "Zorin Desktop on Xorg"
  • Log in

xinput only work in Xorg (X11)...

LOL, no gear icon bottom right or bottom left

I am now begining to understand why people give up on Linux :rofl:

if you click on your username you will see the gear

eventually got that, but touchpad/mouse now totally unusable

mouse will no longer move past the first 1/4 of the screen on the left hand side

because you changed your screen settings with fractional scaling

None of the settings have been changed by me, as unable to select anything as pointer not behave

what is your Graphic card ?

I wouldn't know fractional scaling if it was to jump up and bite me

whatever is built in to the Yoga, I can't check as the pointer is not behaving
so we are going to end up going round and round in endless circles

not whatever if you want help we need to know what it is

without reinstalling windows I cant tell you, I will see if I can get to the bios and look what info is in there

you can if you go in settings !
