Sometimes, when I wake my laptop from sleep, the touchpad acts funny. The mouse pointer jump on the screen and it is really hard to control the mouse. I tried to turn of and on the touchpad in ubuntu control center, hoping this will unload and load the module and it didn't help. Restarting the machine solve this.

          Restarting the driver helps:



          Just Ctrl+alt+T, and run:



          sudo rmmod psmouse

          sudo modprobe psmouse


          On a Macbook I think you may need to use "appletouch" instead of psmouse.

            It is an old topic, but I want to answer my solution, because it seems that pointer devices does not really like other power states.

            BTW this is a good way for module "reset" if you have problems with a device after suspend/hibernate etc, not just for touchpad.



            My problem was exactly the same:

            - After hibernate, my touch pad was hard to use,

            - but my connected USB mouse was OK.



            Following the answer from NoBugs I realized with




            lsmod | grep touch




            that my device name is "hid_multitouch"



            sudo rmmod hid_multitouch
            sudo modprobe hid_multitouch


            ... and my touch pad worked well again.



            I wrote a script to a file in /etc/pm/sleep.d



            sudo pico /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_touchpad_reset


            with the following content:



            case "$1" in
            thaw)
            rmmod hid_multitouch
            modprobe hid_multitouch
            ;;
            esac



            ... and made it executable with




            sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_touchpad_reset




            This snippet makes exactly the same as the above mentioned commands, but

            - automatically

            - run only after hibernation

            from now on




            sudo pm-hibernate




            working nicely.



            BUT pm-tools are not used by decent Ubuntu (Debian), so we need to install a service for systemd.



            For this I created I created a service file:




            sudo pico /lib/systemd/system/touchpad-reset.service




            with the following text:
            [Unit]
            Description=Reset multitouch device after hibernate
            After=hibernate.target
            After=hybrid-sleep.target
            [Service]
            ExecStart=/bin/bash /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_touchpad_reset thaw
            [Install]
            WantedBy=hibernate.target
            WantedBy=hybrid-sleep.target

            ... then I acivated my new service:




            sudo systemctl enable touchpad-reset.service




            You can check if everything worked well with:




            sudo systemctl status touchpad-reset.service

              Running 17.04 on an HP ENVY 15 360 with the same issue. I tried the solutions provided to no avail.



              Started just powering off instead of sleep every time. Super annoying.



              Then it happened again, from fresh boot. So not power management at all.



              Check to see if you are using the Synaptics driver, that may be the issue:

                I have the same problem with synaptics touchpad on my HP Probook G6 after sleep on ubuntu 18.04.
                The solution is the same as V-Mark suggested, but reloading i2c_hid module instead of hid_multitouch.



                sudo rmmod i2c_hid
                sudo modeprobe i2c_hid


                And it starts to work smooth.

                            working nicely.



                            BUT pm-tools are not used by decent Ubuntu (Debian), so we need to install a service for systemd.



                            For this I created I created a service file:




                            sudo pico /lib/systemd/system/touchpad-reset.service




                            with the following text:
                            [Unit]

                            ... then I acivated my new service:




                            sudo systemctl enable touchpad-reset.service




                            You can check if everything worked well with:




                            sudo systemctl status touchpad-reset.service

                              It is an old topic, but I want to answer my solution, because it seems that pointer devices does not really like other power states.

                              BTW this is a good way for module "reset" if you have problems with a device after suspend/hibernate etc, not just for touchpad.



                              My problem was exactly the same:

                              - After hibernate, my touch pad was hard to use,

                              - but my connected USB mouse was OK.



                              Following the answer from NoBugs I realized with




                              lsmod | grep touch




                              that my device name is "hid_multitouch"



                              sudo rmmod hid_multitouch
                              sudo modprobe hid_multitouch


                              ... and my touch pad worked well again.



                              I wrote a script to a file in /etc/pm/sleep.d



                              sudo pico /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_touchpad_reset


                              with the following content:



                              case "$1" in
                              thaw)
                              rmmod hid_multitouch
                              modprobe hid_multitouch
                              ;;
                              esac



                              ... and made it executable with




                              sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_touchpad_reset




                              This snippet makes exactly the same as the above mentioned commands, but

                              - automatically

                              - run only after hibernation

                              from now on




                              sudo pm-hibernate




                              working nicely.

                                  Running 17.04 on an HP ENVY 15 360 with the same issue. I tried the solutions provided to no avail.



                                  Started just powering off instead of sleep every time. Super annoying.



                                  Then it happened again, from fresh boot. So not power management at all.



                                  Check to see if you are using the Synaptics driver, that may be the issue:



                                  The details and solution here worked for me: Ubuntu touchpad issues - mouse pointer jumps around

                                          I have the same problem with synaptics touchpad on my HP Probook G6 after sleep on ubuntu 18.04.
                                          The solution is the same as V-Mark suggested, but reloading i2c_hid module instead of hid_multitouch.



                                          sudo rmmod i2c_hid
                                          sudo modeprobe i2c_hid


                                          And it starts to work smooth.

                                              The solution is the same as V-Mark suggested, but reloading i2c_hid module instead of hid_multitouch.



                                              sudo rmmod i2c_hid
                                              sudo modeprobe i2c_hid


                                              And it starts to work smooth.
