Acer C720 Touchpad not detected

[guru]

Hello, Matthias.

It's a bit early for most distros to have a 4.7 Kernel offering. See
https://www.kernel.org/

You may want to invest in a usb or laser mouse to tide you over.
I prefer these to touchpads anyway.

Regards; and welcome to the forum.

Hello,

My idea is not to work with the netbook using KNOPPIX, but to investigate the hardware and port over, if possible,
the driver which exists in linux-4.7-rc6 and perhaps also in OpenBSD 5.9 to FreeBSD. Re/ usage of touchpad in general:
I do not like any mouse, I'm used to touchpads. And, you can not use a mouse if you do not have a desk or any other
surface like this.

Thanks for your hint and Welcome in any case

Matthias
