Hello again,
A new touchpad question on a different computer!
I successfully managed to put Linux lite on a donated HP Chromebook per these links: https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/commen...ro_on_the/
https://www.maketecheasier.com/replace-chromebook-bios/
As the first link indicated the touchpad is not working, but the USB mouse does work. I tried the solutions that were mentioned, however the link to download the kernel was no longer working. I then tried some other solutions mentioned when I googled (the mod probe -r psmouse and mod probe psmouse proto=imps AND also sudo modprobe -r psmouse and sudo modprobe psmouse) and neither worked (rebooted each time).
I then tried what was suggested in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaBVOJWQTOc
However, despite renaming the file "cros-haswell-modules.sh" and turning on source code (and updating) when I put in the "bash cros-haswell-modules.sh" it says no file or directory exists...( I also did the uname -r and determined I have 4.4.0-93-generic so substituted the 4.4.0 as per the video).
I then tried what was suggested in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAPSrbZvsjk and still no change.
So at this point I am thinking I may resign myself to this computer simply needing a USB mouse...unless someone can suggest a solution that I might be able to handle and execute properly
