i mean... yes, but we're working at bare-metal on the 3DS, not the DS, so the ARM11 is involved, not the ARM7.
Some things are only accessible from one or the other processor, like the WiFi SoC or the SD card.
'tis a mess.

Hi,
I'm using a N3DS XL and got it to work, and Weston is rotated in Landscape, but my mouse only moves around. No clicking. Tried the left/right trigger, and pretty much every other button on the device. What do I do? (Trying to click on weston-terminal)
(EDIT: I now see that it's a bug that's being fixed, right?)

This is a super-old version. Please download the latest tester12 package and, if desired, create your own buildroot package to add your own programs at (again) the repo linked above.
But, yes, the mouse is broken. Most can't even get mouse mode to activate at all.

Yeah, true. We're also modding Linux to actually do more than boot though xD
good place to start though
If you're using a build posted by me, Weston has been entirely removed. If you're using Xerpi's build, it's because the mouse mode doesn't work.
Also wanted to add that I wouldn't bother trying to get a DE running on the 3DS. As it's not really useful for that purpose. This linux port would be killer with something like GmenuNX. (Which runs on those cheap dingux handhelds that keep releasing.) This would make the 3DS the fastest (by a wide margin) and highest quality dingux handheld available. It's designed for low res screens like the 3DS's too. Some screenshots (you can change the theme/the default is kinda ugly):
SD R/W bug fixed (hopefully) but new versions of buildroot break patches, so it's either kernel 4.20.x and a semi-working build or kernel 5.0.x (kernel version that SD fix was made against and needs) and a failed build. Looking into possibly switching away from buildroot.
(I also have a new dedicated build setup, so build time went from 6 hours to 1.5 hours max, so updates should be slightly faster)

Define "user"? Also, are you using Xerpi's build or one made by Wolfvak and I?
Perhaps, but you should probably just use RetroArch as Lin3DS is barely stable at this point and it may be a long while before we get everything far enough for that.
I am, but there's no development Discord server or anything as of now and my Internet connection isn't stable right now (we no longer have internet access at the house as we're STILL packing and getting the new land ready 3 months later...)
Do you need a mouse driver? I'd be over the moon with wifi and a working CLI.
Once you have the mouse driver how are you going to handle input? Touchscreen as a trackpad seems the way to go on that front.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
