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.

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):

What's the status report on this port?
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)

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.
