Your best bet would be by using the latest linux-libre kernel:

I suppose you installed full-disk? Also check here:

I am running tha latest linux-libre kernel which is 3.13.5. Can someone please give me a modified script for it?
If you used the generic kernel from Trisquel's repository and it worked, it is completely free. So there's no need to use the libre kernel from jxself's repository.
I didnt use the trisquel's kernel, i used the one that you can download from https://www.kernel.org/. Making my trisquel not free... But now im on a fresh install with the latest linux-libre kernel (3.13.5) and i would like to patch it so i can use my touchpad. Thank you for your answers.
If it works on the vanilla Linux but not on the same version of Linux-libre, then it probably requires a blob. The policy of this community is to never help anyone install proprietary software (because that is not "helping").
The patches are at [0]. They are free (no blobs inside, they modify
GPL2-licensed files with the original patches having Signed-off-by).
The script included in that repo uses blobbed kernel sources. A proper
solution would be to apply the patches to Linux-libre kernel sources and
build it, Jason Self wrote that he will do it for next freesh kernel
updates.
Maybe Magic Banana is right or maybe i didnt write the sccript well since i dont know which urls i should use.
Could you try installing the package linux-image-generic-lts-saucy? This is a deblobbed version of the Ubuntu saucy kernel. I know that Ubuntu applies some patches, so maybe they applied the patch for your touchpad.
If you (leoleo11) want a recent linux-libre kernel (compiled from source) you can follow these instructions: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/compiling-gnu-linux-libre-kernel
The version of the kernel Linux from kernel.org isn't linux-libre. It contains non-free firmware "blobs".
Ok, I installed linux-image-generic-lts-saucy however i dont know where to get the script fro patching it. Any ideas?
OK, if it still doesn't work, then compile the kernel yourself. It's not too hard.
wget http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/linux-libre-3.13.5-source.tar.xz
tar -xJvf linux-libre-3.13.5-source.tar.xz
cd linux-libre-3.13.5-source/linux
for patch in 3078491 3078481 3074391 3074441 3074421 3074401 3074431 3074411; do
wget -O - https://github.com/raouldc/c720-touchpad-patches/raw/master/$patch.patch | patch -p1
done
cd ..
Then follow the directions in README. Obviously, use the x86-64 config if you have 64-bit and x86-32 if you have 32-bit. You can run 'arch' in a terminal to find out.
Well i tried the instructions posted above and i can't get it to work. Is there a way to patch my already installed linux-libre kernel version 3.13.5? Maybe modyfying the commands already posted here? Thank you.
What did you try, and what doesn't work? What error messages did you get?
