deteksi touchpad di Laptop Axioo Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 grub 2.0

seperti temen2 ketahui, install Linux di laptop merk Axioo itu kaya pain in the ass...
kita harus matiin service acpi supaya Linux bisa detek itu touchpad...
buat distro2 berbasis grub 2.0 beta (contohnya Ubuntu 9.10)ataupun grub 2.0 lainnya, kita harus masukin parameter ini:

hehe ane dapet ilmu baru
barusan ngutakatik grub dapet ini…

buka terminal
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

cari GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT dan GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

isi jadi
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash noapic nolapic i8042.nomux=1″

dan

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”noapic nolapic i8042.nomux=1″

save the file then run terminal
sudo update-grub

Silahkan lihat perubahannya di sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg

bakalan ada:

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro noapic nolapic i8042.nomux=1 quiet splash noapic nolapic i8042.nomux=1

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro single noapic nolapic i8042.nomux=1

restart komputer.
beres…touchpad bakal detek lagi
