Keyboard works only if one finger touch touchpad

[Obolo]

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

The keyboard of my MSI M620 Notebook goes randomly dead. If so, I had to touch continously the touchpad to use the keyboard. On Windows there is no problem.

same on my acer travelmate 3210. I somehow have the feeling that it has something to do with my touchpad. when I read your bug report I tested. tap the touchpad and my keyboard stopped responding. then I tapped it again the keyboard started responding again.
