Trackpad support for Chromebook Acer C720

I see there is trackpad support in OS 11 that is apparently missing in OS 9 for my Acer chromebook C720. Is there a simple package install I can run to get OS 9 working? I'd rather be on the LTS version.

Hi, a lot of device drivers are embedded in the kernel version that is installed - you could manually update kernel to a newer version but your system may become unstable. 12 LTS should be out in the not too distant future.

Thanks. So is there no easy way to experiment with OS 9 and installing device drivers to see which might work, or are these internal drivers? Any guesstimate on when the next LTS is out? A week a month? I'm trying to set up a chromebook so my son doesn't use his real laptop for anything but school.

Hi, the only information I have is that they are working hard on the next LTS. They will have completed second Beta in few days time. They sometimes release an RC version before the final release for feedback. You may also like to consider Educational release of Zorin or you can add Educational Software yourself using Synaptic Package Manager.
