The default charging speed of the uConsole is way too slow. Run this to fixt hat:
echo 'KERNEL=="axp20x-battery", ATTR{constant_charge_current_max}="2200000", ATTR{constant_charge_current}="2000000"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-uconsole-charging.rulesuConsole Trackball as Scrolling wheel [temporary] Solution - uConsole - clockworkpi>
- Make sure you have xinput:
sudo apt install xinput - Copy this to
~/.xsessionrc:
# Enable scrolling emulation by using middle mouse button and moving the wheel.
xinput --set-prop 'ClockworkPI uConsole Mouse' 'libinput Scroll Method Enabled' 0 0 1
# Enable middle mouse button emulation by hold the left and right mouse button at the same time.
xinput --set-prop 'ClockworkPI uConsole Mouse' 'libinput Middle Emulation Enabled' 1
- Enable "natural scrolling" in GNOME Settings if you like

thanks for posting this. what's the fastest SD card you've found to work well? I have a Lexan 1TB I found online which is reasonably OK, but it's a little more than half as fast as the eMMC on my other CM4 with the 32GB eMMC built in. could also just be limited by the speed of the SD interface, idk.
