Same as LP: #1594214?

@kaihengfeng:

Thanks for the suggestion.
In my case the touchpad has never shown up or worked in any way but I will try the workaround and let you know. I will do it later today.

The workaround from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594214 was successful.

Add kernel boot parameter:
i8042.kbdreset=1

Thank you!
