Hi everybody!
I am new to this community and have recently become interested in running Linux on Chromebooks. I recently purchased the ASUS CX3202CVA Chromebook Plus (Boardname: Marasov; CPU: i5 1335), and got Coreboot UEFI and Arch Linux installed and working quite well! There are just a few final things that need to be ironed out so I can make this my daily driver. Specifically, the touchpad driver doesn’t seem to work correctly. If I run libinput debug-gui
and touch the touchpad, it detects and recognizes where I put my fingers; however, it won’t move my cursor on GNOME Wayland. dmesg
recognizes the touchpad as 2 devices: “PIXA2342:00 093A:200D Touchpad” & “PIXA2342:00 093A:200D Mouse”. A temporary fix to this disable the hid_multitouch
kernel module, but this has the side effect of turning the touchpad into a simple 1 finger pointer, no scrolling or gestures. Any help is appreciated; this project/website is great and thanks for the awesome documentation
I solved this using TeebsTeebson’s solution! Just change “Elan” to “PIXA” No touchpad multitouch on ASUS Chromebook CX9 (DROBIT)
I have the same ASUS CX3202CVA Chromebook Plus (Boardname: Marasov; CPU: i5 1335) and can’t get past disabling write protect. Can you please point me to the instructions you followed?
Enable developer mode → unplug battery → power it from the charger and flash to your hearts content.
With that said dont expect miracles. I’ve tried every distro in the wiki, and a few more that arent in it and i’ve been unable to make the touchpad or the sound work. Or nore precisely i can make crackly underwater sounding trash come out of the speakers, nothing nore.
Makes it useless as a laptop, i’m gonna flash chrome os firmware back on it.
I tried exactly that and it did not work. It has a Cr50 and “gsctool -a -I” shows that the CCD is locked. With the battery removed and from VT2 shell, “cd ~; curl -L -O mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh; sudo bash firmware-util.sh” showed that only the legacy BIOS option was NOT write protected. I want to install Windows 11 and I think that requires a Full UEFI Firmware. I ordered the pieces from amazon to build myself a SuzyQ cable. I think I can then change the CCD state from ‘locked’ (closed) to ‘open’ to allow modifications. Then disable the firmware WP and enabling flashing of system firmware.
Are you sure its a Marasov? Because mine is a marasov and thats exactly what i did.
