Unhappy MacBookAir7,2 Right button of Touchpad not working!!!


Hi all,

I moved from Linux Mint 19 to Linux Mint 21. Now the right button of the touchpad does not work. I tried to fix the problem by Google without results. Can you help me somehow?

Thank you for your reply. This solution cannot work because I have Linux Mint as operating system!

You should be able to access the Settings on Mint and look for an option for Mouse and Touchpad and take a look at possible changes. It if's a hardware problem, then none of the options are likely to work.

This options are present. Unfortunately, the touchpad still does not work. Could it be a bug of Linux Mint?

Do you still have the original Mac OS installed? If so, does the touchpad work with it? You might try downloading another Linux OS and putting it on a USB and booting it to test if the touchpad works. I'm not familiar with Macs so don't have any other suggestions. It could be a hardware problem.
