[Bug 657674] [NEW] notebook keyboard and touchpad do not work any more

[Aisano]

Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu 10.04.1 on a Medion akoya P6622 notebook. Back in May 2010 the internal keyboard and touchpad worked fine. Then I had a somewhat busy time and only used the computer at home with an external keyboard and mouse. Now I found that the internal keyboard and the touchpad no longer work.
When everything else failed I booted the machine under Windows. The internal keyboard and the touchpad work there, so it does not look like a hardware defect.
Bug 334249 looks a bit similar to this case; there are, however, a few differences:
* My computer is not a Dell Vostro.
* The "kopt" changes proposed under 334249 do not work for me.
* With the 334249 problem, the keyboard still worked for grub. My internal keyboard does not work for grub either, meaning I cannot use the arrow keys to choose between kernel versions (or between Ubuntu and Windows).
I tried booting the older kernels still remembered by grub but it does not make any difference. It hardly could, as the error manifests itself already when grub is running, and there is no Linux kernel active at that time. I realize that it is not really correct to attribute this bug to the "linux" package, stlll FindRightPackage says that all hardware problems should go there.
I presented this problem in question 127790 but nobody could help me there.
