Get Fyde OS trackpad/touchpad drivers on Chrome OS

Requirements

  1. Preferably a separate linux installation (you can use live cd).
  2. Fyde OS img file.
  3. A blank USB drive.

How to

  1. Burn the Fyde OS image onto USB drive.
  2. Boot linux and mount ROOT-A partitions from Fyde OS USB and actual Chrome OS.
  3. Inside Chrome OS ROOT-A partition rename the psmouse.ko file to psmouse_bak.ko under /lib/modules/4.18.../kernel/drivers/input/mouse directory
  4. Copy the following files from Fyde OS ROOT-A to Chrome OS ROOT-A:
    /usr/bin/set-touchpad.sh
    /lib/modules/4.18.../kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko

Set the touchpad

Boot into Chrome OS. Open shell and login as root. Issue the following command: set-touchpad <option>
where option = "imps" or "bare" or "exps" or "auto". You can see the available options in the set-touchpad.sh file itself.
Finally reboot.
