Chromebook Pixel

The Pixel is fully supported by crouton with only a few minor caveats you need to keep in mind.

When issuing the command to build your chroot, you will want to add -t touch to your command. If you are adding a desktop environment target such as Xfce or Unity, you can combine it with touch via something like -t touch,xfce.

Be aware that until your favorite window manager supports high-DPI displays, results may vary. Users are having good luck using Xfce with a few minor tweaks:

Option #1 change dpi settings

Support for dpi changes are quite spotty... but this way you get to keep text sharp.

1. In Xfce, right-click the desktop and choose Desktop Settings.
2. In Icons tab, increase the icon size. Recommended: 72.
3. Close the window.
4. Right-click the desktop and choose Applications > Settings > Appearance.
5. In the Icons tab, select Humanity, Humanity-Dark, or Tango. GNOME icons are not resolution independent.
6. In Fonts tab, enable Custom DPI and set it to 150, or adjust to your liking.
7. Close window.
8. Right-click the desktop and choose Applications > Settings > Panel.
9. Use the slider to increase the size of the panel. Recommended for ease of touch: 72.
10. Close the window.

This should give you an interface normal humans are capable of working with. If you have any more tips, please share them!

Option #2 change resolution

Trades the extreme definition for more a typical resolution that works perfectly with any window manager. Create a script with the following, and run it whenever you start the chroot:

xrandr --newmode "1920x1280_60.00"  206.25  1920 2056 2256 2592  1280 1283 1293 1327 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode eDP1 "1920x1280_60.00"
xrandr --newmode "1440x960_60.00"  113.75  1440 1528 1672 1904  960 963 973 996 -hsync +vsync                  
xrandr --addmode eDP1 "1440x960_60.00"

You should now be able to access 1920x1280 and 1440x960 internal resolutions from your environment's display settings.
