Thanks for your answer, business_kid. But I think that my situation is the first post's one...

$ dmesg | grep i8042

[ 1.173422] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input4

Did anyone make that work?

That dmesg command gives me more

Those greps are misleading because there can be 20 lines between stuff.
There's a couple of fancy options for this box(fingerprint wipe, etc) which I don't have. Is your system loading the keyboard or the mouse first? The interesting check thereabouts is this

sudo ls -l /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio?

That shows me the at keyboard on serio0 and mouse on serio4
