I have used Lubuntu but it's to weak for me so i need to try Debian 7. I have a Chromebook Acer C710 who i have flashed away the orginal BIOS and flashed a new BIOS calles SeaBios from JohnLewis.ie
But i need to fix the touchpad and i don't know how to update my kernel.
In ubuntu i did this:
Then reboot the laptop and the touchpad works! But what do i need to download for debain? What Linux image do debain offer? I have tried to searsh in apt-get system and i only found 3.2 Linux Kernel. Not newer.
The touchpad still doesn't work. I'm running 3.13 on a C720, and have not been able to get the touchpad to work. I just use a mouse. I'm hoping 3.14 fixes it.
I have one problem. I don't know what kernel of 3.11 amd64 and headers of 3.11 amd64 i need to choose from blackports of Wheezy.
Do you know what headers and kernel in .deb format i need to download?
I think i will install the kernel and headers i have post above. Is that a bad idea or shall i try with wheezy blackports kernel&headers who i cannot find?

Those 3.11 kernels have been updated to 3.12 and 3.13 versions in backports. You can still find them in snapshot.debian.org, but I'd go with the newer kernels.
Usually touchpads are supported by some xorg-xserver-input driver, and you may have some odd one. Usually you can find some kind of guide to get the touchpad working by doing a websearch...
Hi! I tried to install the ubuntu kernel and headers above. And not my touchpad works!
It's on Acer C710. Is there any way i can add this to....you do you call it..?....to the updates or something so everybody knows that this will work?
But tapping is not working beacuse the install if the headers & kernel was not 100%.
I have allreade installed Lubuntu Linux beacuse i forgot that it's a function to enable tapping on the touchpad in Debian.
But now we know a solution to fix the touchpad for the Acer C710. I don't know if that works with Acer C720. Mabey somebody test?
But install a Ubuntu kernel onto Debian, it's no point to use Debian then.
