Thanks i8042.nodemux is not recognized and appears not to be needed. Your memory was good. The only thing I could not figure out was how to save it from the grub editor. What i did was edit the menu.lst with out running update-grub and this seems to work with just i8042.reset added to the end of the line.
Not sure I have the default set correctly. This is what I put in: kopt i8042.reset and it was removed after running sudo update-grub It is usable again not perfect -- Dell Laptop vostro 1310, Internal Keyboard and Touchpad not working anymore on 9.04 jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
