Need for synaptics driver on some laptops with recent distros

In last couple of months I've twice had to add (install) xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package
after installing a new distro. In particular Linux Mint 20 and 20.1 on a Dell 11" Inspiron 3000
and an Asus UX303. The symptom is that right-click doesn't work, which becomes noticeable when
you want to adjust the panel or "open with" or ...

This is just a heads-up in case anyone else encounters this. Took me a while to sort out,
but was very quick and simple fix once I knew what to try.
