[Bug 1035208] Re: touchpad stops working (moving the pointer doesn't work)
first make sure that there are no nvec related message in dmesg by doing
a "dmesg|grep nvec".
The TP is known to be crappy hw. So you may sometimes loose connection
but it will restart after some time. But I never noticed that the
buttons or scroll wheel emulation still works. Will check this next
time.

touchpad stops working (moving the pointer doesn't work)

Bug description:
Sometimes, in my Ubuntu 12.04 system on Toshiba AC100 (ARM), the
touchpad doesn't react to movements anymore: i.e., I move the finger,
but the pointer doesn't move (it is even being hidden because there
are no movements).
The buttons under the touchpad do work.
Also, when I switch windows etc. the pointer does appear, and then
hides again. So it's not a problem of the pointer in X, it's a problem
either of the touchpad physically, or of the driver for it.
I usually notice this when I'm working with a browser (Firefox),
perhaps even with a map (like Google map) inside it. But this may be
not related to the causes of the bug.
A workaround: attach a USB mouse. (It works.)
As I've found out somewhere under /sys/, the device is an Elantech
touchpad, and the corresponding driver is psmouse.
I couldn't find anything relevant in the dmseg output.
