Why don't you fork our github, add in a pkgbuild in core/linux-chromebook, and then issue a pull and we'll build it up.

Has anyone tried this? https://github.com/guillaumebrunerie/Chromiarch-OS

Should be getting my Chromebook today, looking forward to messing around with ALARM on it :)

If you read that carefully, that is for x86 chromebooks.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'I')f you read that carefully, that is for x86 chromebooks.


Of course.... but what part of it couldn't apply to ALARM?

besides all the drivers? And possible x86 only bits?

What part of this couldn't possibly work on ALARM? Obviously, you cannot just follow that guide 100% exactly and get the desired result, I'm not that stupid, but is there anything there that cannot work on ARM with proper tweaking?

I feel like you're being excessively pedantic :p. The overall idea and instructions should be similar regardless of the architecture.

I think it's a pretty great idea, even if not entirely practical. Running entirely different userlands (complete with X) in two hard ttys.

That looks pretty interesting.. What exactly is x86 specific about the concept? (And not just the arch build...which we obviously already have..)

Also, for anyone else playing with ALARM for the first time, I'm finding the fbdev video driver better performing than the armsoc one as it stands..

Question for anyone - the touch pad is working really well in Arch - this is the main problem with ChrUbuntu at the moment, the touchpad is horrid..Does anyone have any idea if there's anything special been done for the touchpad in ALARM other than

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "FingerHigh" "5"
Option "FingerLow" "5"
EndSection

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf (from: http://blogs.arm.com/software-enablemen ... hromebook/ )

I've been trying to cross-compile a newer version of Chromium than the one on the rootfs. But it's complicated and I haven't got it working yet. Perhaps I should try an x86 compile first. Anyway, I'd like to know how the existing binary was built if possible? The idea is to use the pepper flash plugin from the Arm ChromeOS which doesn't work with the current archlinux Arm Chromium binaries.
