I did figure out a way to start the touchpad to work again after I lock it up using 5 fingers to lock it up:
sudo modprobe -r hid-multitouch && sudo modprobe hid-multitouch This will bring the touchpad back online so you can use it. I created a script with this in it, and then added it as a keyboard shortcut in Ubuntu so that it was executed if my palm accidentally locks my touchpad, this will enable it again without having to reboot. However, this is a bandaid and it should really work out of the box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738263 Title: Touchpad not working and locking CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1738263/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
