Re: Acer C7 Chromebook

I was able to make the script work by adding "krb5 e2fsprogs keyutils" to the PACMAN_PACKAGES array.  The fix was inspired by this page

The only problem is that it kernel panics upon shutdown, I'm guessing due to a version mismatch between the kernel and systemd

Re: Acer C7 Chromebook

Hi guys, I installed Bridge Linux 64 Bit LXDE on a coreboot flashed c710 (C710-10074G01ii) with no real hiccups except for a few:

Suspend: Reboot instead of resume, I tried some of the methods listed from the guide below with no luck.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ac … Chromebook

Fn Keys: I used the hotkey guide listed in the same 720 wiki above and it didn't seem to do anything.

I know that this model of the c710 is unique, I was wondering if there was anyone who had similar issues for this model and had a fix or can point me in the right direction? It's a great piece of hardware for the price.

Extra note: I'm fairly experienced with *nix, I usually run LXDE but have some XFCE services running as well but I'd like to keep my distro light if possible.

Thanks guys! I've been lurking for a while but google has only taken me so far on these issues.

FYI; C7 != C710.

You probably want to start a new thread. These two models are drastically incompatible for the similarity in numbers.

But from what I know if `xev` doesn't see the Fn key (usually mod{1-4}) then you are probably out of luck. Some times the bios handles that conversion but you'll still see the correct keypress with xev.

Re: Acer C7 Chromebook

Just got arch up and running on a C710. Touchpad doesn't work though. I used GrayMatter's install script - is there an additional step I need to take to enable the touchpad?

For what it's worth, the device shows up in xinput, and mouse clicks work. I just can't move the cursor.

Installed kcm-touchpad and it's working.

Do you know of a way off the top of your head to differentiate C7 from the C710 from inside the OS?
