LXLE will not work with laptop keyboard/trackpad

    I have installed LXLE on my GobookIII and as long as I have a USB keyboard/trackpad plugged in, everything is fine, but if I try to boot the laptop without the external keyboard once I have hit enter to select the grub option, when it gets to the login screen the keyboard and trackpad cease to function. I see that this has been a problem with other Ubuntu distro's but none of the solutions I have found there seem to work in this situation.

    I have tried the following kernel commands, but none of them solve the
    problem.

    i8042.nomux
    i8042.reset
    i8042.reset i8042.nomux
    atkbd.reset i8042.nomux
    i8042.noaux
    i8042.nokbd
    i8042.noloop
    i8042.nopnp
    i8042.unlock
    i8042.direct
    i8042.dumbkbd
    i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop
    i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1
    i8042.notimeout
    i8042.kbdreset

    Other linux distros seem to be able to deal with the keyboard.

    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    It works fine with Puppy Linux 5.28 and earlier. It requires a NonPAE kernel.
