I have realised that if I restart the mouse twice in a row, the touchpad is recognised as such and starts working for a period of time.
```sudo modprobe -r psmouse``` ```sudo modprobe psmouse``` Then, it is recognised back as a generic mouse and stops working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882388 Title: Touchpad recognised as generic mouse Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've just re-installed 20.04 (dual boot/windows 10) on my Lenovo ideapadY700.
