Touchscreen stops working on Samsung dp515a2g

Post by dangullz »

I have a Samsung dp515a2g-k03ca running Mint 20.3 (fresh install).
I just dug this machine up out of the closet to give it some use. Trouble is that the touchscreen only works for one touch- then I have to open settings, disable and re-enable touchpad for it to work for another one touch. Or reboot the machine. Not ideal. USB mouse works consistently. But I wanted the touchscreen for work.
I am running kernel 5.4.0-96 generic if that helps. I am not too too familiar with getting into the deeper settings or commands on linux but I'm willing to give it a shot if anything might help.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum, dangullz.

Please give us information about your install by entering this command in a terminal: inxi -Fxxxrz
