Looks like the kernel detects the devices, the devices get registered
with the input subsystem, and udev is getting notified about the input
devices. So as far as I can see both the kernel and udev are doing the
right thing as far as device detection goes. Let's check whether or not
the laptop keyboard and touchpad really are working.
Thiago, can you please try the following? First run 'sudo apt-get
install input-utils'. After that installs, run 'sudo lsinput' and look
in the output for devices named "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard",
"AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint", and "PS/2 Mouse". The top of each section
will read "/dev/input/event" followed by a number. Take that number for
each device and run 'sudo input-events <number>' with the number for a
given device. Then either press keys on the keyboard for the keyboard
device or move your finger on the trackpad for the touchpad/mouse
devices.
What you should see when you run input-events is some output spewing on
the screen each time you press a key or move your finger on the
trackpad. If you don't see the output, or if the devices aren't present
in lsinput, we're probably looking at a kernel problem. If the devices
are present and you get output from input-events, the problem is at a
higher level.
Thanks!
