Laptop Keyboard and Touchpad not working after GRUB on Toshiba Satellite L775D-7132 on Debian
I have a Toshiba Satellite L775D-7132 (pretty old laptop, I know, but I'm a student, so I can't really afford to buy a new one)
the problem I have is that sometimes after GRUB loads the system and I get to the login screen, the keyboard and touchpad aren't working
I have a USB mouse and keyboard, but when I take my laptop with me, I can't use them, so I'd like to be able to get a permanent fix for this
this happens specifically AFTER GRUB, i.e. on the login screen, and thereafter (after getting into my session, I'm currently using i3, but the same thing happens on LXDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, and Xfce)
I'm currently using Debian Testing/Stretch, but this exact same thing happened on all releases of Ubuntu since 12.10, and Linux Mint, which are the distros I've used
I tried changing my
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
to be
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT ="quiet splash i8402.reset i8402.nomux atkbd.reset"
(added the text in red)
but it didn't really make a permanent fix, it still happens
then, I tried checking for kernel modules loaded when this was happening, and when it wasn't and I found a difference
running lsmod | sort > ~/Desktop/lsmod.dump
as root, on both situations, and then diffing the files
I found out that
hid
hid_generic
usbhid
are not running when this happens
however, I don't really know if those are 'responsible' for this
any help will be appreciated
