Public bug reported: The touchpad on my Dell XPS 1530 keeps breaking. This happens on a random basis at least two times a day. By "breaking", I mean that the touchpad suddenly stops working; I am unable to move the mouse cursor with the touchpad. However, if I plug in an external USB mouse, the cursor can be moved and used as normal. If I then unplug the mouse, the touchpad is still broken. I can get the touchpad working again by logging out and then logging back in.
