Touchpad – Fix Lenovo Yoga 13 Touchpad Not Working in Ubuntu 18.04

lenovomousetouchpad

I tried the solution here

sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps works to enable the touchpad during the current session.

However, the permanent solution (create file in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf) does not work.

Best Answer

I got it working by creating the following /etc/rc.local file entry.

#!/bin/bash
rmmod psmouse&&modprobe psmouse

Don't forget to update permissions.

chmod 755 /etc/rc.local

This solution also retains the OS configured mouse settings such as natural and two finger scrolling.
