It feels like a sudden error, not a wrong parameterI

f there was a way to log the internal states of the touchpad drivers,
then this information at the moment of the error could be useful for
finding out the reason. Kind of debugger that would output the states of
the touchoad drivers.

Then I could try to post such information.

  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.
