Fresh 13.04 install - Laptop Keyboard & Touchpad not working
I'm installing 13.04 (64 bit) from DVD on an Alienware M17x R4 laptop, dual-booting with Win 7.
Within the installer/live CD, both mouse and touchpad work. However, after installation when I boot into Ubuntu, neither mouse nor touchpad work - I'm stuck at the login screen. Ctrl+Alt+Fn doesn't drop me into a terminal either.
If I boot into Ubuntu recovery mode, I can get to the root shell etc and the keyboard works.
What I've tried:
dpkg option in Ubuntu recovery mode
chrooting into the install via the Live CD (probably could have used root shell in recovery mode) and running "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade"
Installed nvidia graphcis drivers.
Installed linux-image-extra-uname -r
Setting acpi=false, as well as i8042.reset in grub
Redownloaded & did another fresh install
Similar to this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1172852 except that his recovery mode was broken and mine is not.
What would you recommend?
