This reply is from an antique whose introduction to computers predated 
Dartmouth BASIC.

Your problem description made me think of "non free" drivers.
*HOWEVER* a DuckDuckGo search came up with many 10 year old reports.
But searches including Debian Stretch or Buster were empty.

After decades of 'Customer Support' [admittedly in different field],
I suspect more detailed information on your platform and an
*MINUTELY exact* specification of your system *AND* keyboard/mouse will 
be required.

HTH
YMMV
