[intrepid] lost mouse and keyboard input

[Kyle Martin]

I just updated my install of intrepid-amd64 on my laptop and now my touchpad and keyboard do not work. I have tried inserting a USB keyboard and mouse to circumvent this issue (both cold and hotplugged) to no avail. CTRL-ALT-DEL still works but thats about it. I have tried using last good boot and recovery mode xfix, also to no avail. I have tried dropping to recovery root and manually calling apt-get to update to a hopefully pathced package version but I cannot bring up my ethernet connection, from running ifup eth0 i get the error "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" even though when I run ifconfig eth0, its detected.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add your '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file and your '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' file as attachments to your bug report? Additionally after backing up your xorg.conf file it would be interesting to know what happens when you boot without one. Thanks in advance.

I've removed the regression-potential tag until we have enough information to verify that this is in fact a valid bug report.

unfortunately I cannot help any further with this bug, I eventually had to reinstall from a fresh daily-live cd, so far I haven't had further issues. Sorry.
