    Acer C720: touchpad not working under Kali 1.0.6

    Hi everyone,

    got myself an Acer C720 Chromebook. Booting Live Kali via USB works fine, and I'm in the middle of installing it to a SD drive. The only problem here is that the touchpad is not working under Kali (but fine under Chrome OS). (X)Ubuntu has the same issue, and they have an apparent solution, which obviously doesn't apply to Kali Linux.

    Has anyone encountered the same problem and/or solved the problem ? Workaround is to use a mouse.

    Appreciate any input !

    Thanks

    ell, here is the solution: a modified cros-haswell-modules.sh:

    root@milka:~/Downloads# uname -a
    Linux milka 3.12-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.6-2kali1 (2014-01-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux
    root@milka:~/Downloads# diff cros-haswell-modules_ORIG.sh cros-haswell-modules.sh
    14c14,15
    < cd $mykernver
    ---
    > #cd $mykernver
    > cd linux-3.12.6
