I have a Surface Go tablet that I switched over to Linux a while back, and just came across a problem that I don’t know how to approach. I use an iDataLink Maestro module in my car to make an aftermarket stereo do what I want it to do. I want to check for a firmware update on it, but the management software tool is windows or mac only.

So I installed WINE and the PlayonLinux front end. I successfully installed the tool (Weblink) but the keyboard doesn’t work so I can’t log into it. The trackpad works though, and this is a directly connected keyboard/trackpad, so for one to work but not the other seems weird. I can find threads about non-functional keyboards with some games, but I honestly don’t understand the guidance being dished out.

How can I troubleshoot and fix this keyboard issue?

    yeah, had the same deal with Xiaomi’s unlock tool. no WINE, no VM, bare-metal Windows only. oh yeah, doesn’t even work on Ryzens, has to be Intel, like wtfff…

      Doesn’t work on Ryzens??? Is that recent? Because I did unlock on my Zen+ system just fine back in '22
