Thank you for your replies:

> There is no need to open a new thread every four days for the exact same problem: I figured the question about how to list/install/uninstall drivers in Trisquel was a separate topic not directly related to the mouse click problem I have. I wanted to find out more generally how drivers and kernel modules can be found and installed in Trisquel.

>In GNU/Linux operating systems, drivers are part of the operating system's kernel (named Linux) aren't normally installed separately. Unless it's some driver that isn't included in Linux to begin with. Getting a newer driver, for example, really means getting a newer kernel. I maintain a public repository for people to get newer kernels. Information and instructions are available at https://jxself.org/linux-libre/

Thank you for this information. I did upgrade to 4.19 and that did not help the touchpad issue I am having.

I thought, however, you could install kernel modules separately using something like modprobe and there is a module that provides a driver for the touchpad ? Or am I barking up the wrong tree there?
