Hi. I have an issue with Manjaro that I don’t have with any other distro: My touchpad is randomly not detected. Most of the times I boot my laptop it works, but 1 out of 5 times or so it isn’t detected. Usually I just reboot and it works again, but its really annoying having to reboot every time it happens. I’ve noted the output of xinput list
for the cases when my touchpad is working and cases when it isn’t:
xinput list (touchpad working)
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ USB Optical Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN0501:00 04F3:3060 Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN0501:00 04F3:3060 Touchpad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Acer Wireless Radio Control id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HD WebCam: HD WebCam id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Acer WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
xinput list (when touchpad is not working)
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ USB Optical Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Acer Wireless Radio Control id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HD WebCam: HD WebCam id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Acer WMI hotkeys id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
It is just weird that without changing anything sometimes it is detected and sometimes it isn’t.
What can I do to solve it? Is there at least a command or something I can run to ‘restart’ the touchpad without rebooting?
