I finally got both suspend and the touch pad working with kernel 3.14.5, which is in Kali 1.07, 1.08, and 1.09. Long story short, I compiled a custom kernel to fix suspend. I also added four patches for the touchpad. The other patches that have been listed have already been added to the kernel, so they weren't necessary. These are the steps that I took. There may be typos. I tried to capture everything that I did in order.
The kernel patch is here. The four touchpad patches can be downloaded from: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/<patch_number>/raw. Replace <patch_number> with the patch number. The patches are:
After getting the five patches, fix the patch to chromeos_laptop.c in the 3074401 and 3074411. Do a global find and replace for 'x86' and replace with 'chrome'. Then, download and install linux-source, linux-headers-3.14-kali1-amd64, and kernel-package.
root@kali:~# apt-get install linux-source linux-headers-3.14-kali1-amd64 kernel-package
Unzip the source in /usr/src.
root@kali:/usr/src# tar xpf linux-source-3.14.tar.xz
Go to the source root director and patch the Kali patches.
root@kali:/usr/src/linux-source-3.14# xz -dc ../linux-patch-3.14-rt.patch.xz | patch -p1
Patch the five patches. Replace <patch> with the path to the patch. It is easiest if they are copied to the source root directory.
root@kali:/usr/src/linux-source-3.14# patch -p1 <patch>
It's time to build. This took around 3-4 hours on the chromebook. Copy in the config from boot and Module.symvers from the linux-headers. Then compile. Here are the commands that I used.
root@kali:/usr/src/linux-source-3.14# cp /boot/config-3.14-kali1-amd64 .config
root@kali:/usr/src/linux-source-3.14# cp /usr/src/linux-headers-3.14-kali1-amd64/Module.symvers .
root@kali:/usr/src/linux-source-3.14# make-kpkg clean
root@kali:/usr/src/linux-source-3.14# fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image
Wait 3-4 hours... Once it is done, there will be a new .deb file in /usr/src. This is the new kernel. Install it using dpkg.
root@kali:/usr/src# dpkg -install linux-image-3.14.5-rt5_3.14.5-rt5-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
root@kali:/usr/src/linux-source-3.14# reboot
Ok, now touchpad works, but suspend does not. Fix grub to add a few commands. Change /etc/default/grub so that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quite splash tpm_tis.force=1 tpm_tis.interrupts=0 modprobe.blacklist=ehci+hcd,ehci_pci nmi_watchdog=0"
Then, rebuild grub with the update-grub command. Reboot. Suspend works via power button, but not lid close.
root@kali:~# update-grub
root@kali:~# reboot
Next step is to tweak touchpad settings and try to figure out why lid close doesn't trigger suspend. It locks the screen, so I know that the lid close event is registered.
