No hardware keyboard on Acer Aspire One AO522

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Boot android-x86-4.0-RC1-amd_brazos.iso on Acer Aspire One AO522.
2. Attempt to enter any text on the keyboard.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It is expected that the text input on the keyboard is registered by the system 
and some indication of this is displayed onscreen; however, no recognition of 
the keystrokes occurs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Acer Aspire One AO522 netbook
- android-x86-4.0-RC1-amd_brazos.iso live booting off a USB stick

hi, this issue is the same than issue 525.

here is the solution :
you need to delete the file 
/system/usr/keylayout/AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard.kl

  "To do this from within Android, open Terminal Emulator, and type "su" [enter] to become root, then "rm /system/usr/keylayout/AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard.kl" [enter], then reboot. You can also do this by booting into recovery mode =)

Thanks again for this solution, Viktor.

Tried this with exactly the same setup, I am informed that it is not possible 
because it is read only, the same goes with a full install, and accepting the 
read-write settings the software offers - any other suggestions, especially for 
a full install
