Here is a script I made for resetting the touchpad with the gnome
keyring (because it requires sudo priviledge).
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z $1 ]
then
echo 'rsmod unloads and reloads kernel modules with modprobe'
echo 'usage: rsmod <kernelmodulename>'
echo 'Requires root privileges'
exit 1
fi
pkexec bash -c "modprobe -r $1; modprobe $1"
You can put this in /usr/local/bin and then make a keyboard shortcut for `rsmod
hid-multitouch`.
Note: this simple script can actually reset any kernel module. To use it just
go `rsmod kernelmodule` from a terminal or run window.
I used Super+R so whenever I hit Super+R it asks for my password and resets the
touchpad.
Sorry we have to use this workaround; at least this makes it a bit easier.
Cheers.
