Is this a laptop or desktop system? If it's a laptop, bring it to the 
meeting.

How did you solve the issue when you upgraded to 13.04?

Can you boot into single user state and try the keyboard out? If it works, 
the problem is not in the kernel or kernel module loaded prior to pivot, 
though could be a kernel module after the pivot.

In single user state, can you disable the GUI startup and boot into a 
text-mode console? If you can and if the keyboard does work, any kernel 
modules loaded after pivot are also not to blame -- meaning that the GUI is 
where the problem likely is.

Assuming this is a desktop system, are the mouse and keyboard USB devices 
or plugged into the mouse and keyboard ports in the motherboard?
