Bug Description

When i launched the kubuntu 13.10 i386 live usb on my laptop [LG R1 model LGW4], with it connected to my external screen, kwin would show two crashes once the desktop would load and the menu/taskbar panel that should have loaded at the bottom of the screen does not load. I am able to add the panel afterwards, but my wireless icon wouldnt appear in the panel. I also am not able to use my keyboard.

after adding the panel, no icon for my wireless card. when running with only the laptop monitor, i have confirmed that the wireless icon does appear.

i tested this issue on kubuntu 13.04 and kwin doesnt crash, but the bottom panel doesnt show up correctly, but the keyboard does work.

i noticed the keyboard issue also in solydk version 201401 and see the problem must have to do with the kde version 4.11 and above.

well i found out the keyboard is not a kde issue, its a kernel issue. all 3.9+ kernel distros, the keyboard doesnt work.
