   [MASTER] Grub does not update menu.lst when it was hand-edited (so it defaults to old 2.6.28 kernel after upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04): add 'help' details to debconf prompt

Title:
  Touchpad not working

Status in “grub” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hal

  Touchpad was working with ubuntu 9.04 but stopped working when I
  installed 9.10

  === Diagnosis ===
  Run 'uname -a' and determine if the kernel version matches with the current OS (2.6.31 for Karmic).  If the kernel version is incorrect, then the problem is likely caused by driver incompatibilities.

  === Fix ===
  Modifying the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to include the correct kernel entry to boot into is necessary.  Usually, 'sudo update-grub' should be sufficient.  Then reboot the computer.
