Default Buildin Keybord and touchpad lock up during linux boot

Symptoms:
  1. keybord worked fine to begin with until after nvidia driver instalation.
  2. Keybord works fine during initial boot, stops working after I selected boot option in boot manager.
  3. Absolutly no reaction when pressing a key from OS or the laptop itself (can`t switch on/off numlock, capslock and ScrLK LEDs)
  4. the capslock and ScrLK LEDs are constantly on.
  5. Dosn`t work in console (regular and ctrl+alt+f1)
  6. USB mouse still work

what I`ve done (:

Installed the Nvida driver with the 1 click guide opensuse.org/nvidia. I be live the update also installed some other updates. I used the console command: "sax2 -r" to get the nvida driver running (I be leave), rebooted and here the keyboard stopped working.
Luckly my USB mouse still works, so I updated the OS using the build in updater, but no luck, I`ve tryed reinstalling SUSE, getting the same experience, every time I install the nvidia driver I lose my keyboard.
I have now and then been lucky and gotten the keyboard running like right now(pushing some keys during start up , but I don`t belive that did it), but when I reboot it dosn`t work anymore.
I`m running KDE btw.

System specs:
Brand Zepto
Model Znote 6635
CPU Intel Core 2 (2,0GHz)
Ram 4GB
GPU Nvidia GeForce 8600m GT
Wlan Ar5008 (zpro)
Lan Netlink BCM5787m Gbit

think that was the usefull specs

I`m new to Linux, so far I`m having a good impression of it (except for the above)
Hope I got all the details you guys need.
