Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 18.04.3 on a Dell XSP12 laptop. After an automatic kernel update from 4.15.0-70-generic to 4.15.0-72-generic, my touchpad stopped working. (The mouse pointer is not moving, and I cannot click.) The touchpad is still working when I start up with the older kernel.
I think it's a Synaptics touchpad. The output of 'xinput list' when running either kernel is as follows: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ATML1000:00 03EB:842F id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Synaptics s3203 id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated Webcam: Integrated W id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Intel Virtual Button driver id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ DELL Wireless hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: linux-image-4.15.0-72-generic 4.15.0-72.81 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-72.81-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-72-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: marcus 1546 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: marcus 1546 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Dec 8 13:55:23 2019 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=07196a12-9711-4352-816d-530ed0fe9c00 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-04-29 (222 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) MachineType: Dell Inc.
