Anyone have Debian on Toshiba Chromebook 2 (cb35-bxxx0)?
Just wondering. I tried putting Debian on my CB35-b3330 and the touchpad wouldn't work. I've read multiple sources saying that any kernel >=4.0 it should work (I installed testing so it was 4.2.something). Put Fedora 23 KDE and works perfectly. If you have Debian on this model, does your touchpad work and what kernel are you running?
I ask because while Fedora seems to have changed a lot so it's WAY nicer than it used to be, I'm still a Debian fan at heart.

I don't have this laptop but perhaps I can at least point you in the right direction. What brand of touchpad is this and what have you tried so far apart from upgrading the kernel? Also, what version of Debian are you using?
Regards...

Reason: Added smiley.
I'm not concerned about tracking any of that down, just wondering if anyone else has this model with Debian working to determine if it was my install or if Debian kernels are drastically different from Mint & Fedora (which both work), or if using a liquorix/Siduction/etc. kernel works.
Like I said, I have Fedora on now and everything works perfectly, I'm just not a GIGANTIC fan of Fedora (although compared to the last version I used, wow it's amazingly nice).
