Public bug reported: I have Lenovo P50 laptop. After upgrading to 19.04 from 18.10 Synaptics touchpad no longer supports scrolling after boot. It is also not detected in 'mouse' settings.
After some research I found that running 'echo -n "reconnect" | sudo tee /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/drvctl' seems to fix the problem. Relevant info in dmesg: ``` $ dmesg | grep -E 'psmouse|i801' [ 2.101685] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: enabling device (0000 -> 0003) [ 2.101805] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: SPD Write Disable is set [ 2.101913] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: SMBus using PCI interrupt [ 2.871715] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried max coordinates: x [..5676], y [..4754] [ 2.905193] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried min coordinates: x [1266..], y [1100..] [ 2.905195] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Trying to set up SMBus access [ 3.109019] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Timeout waiting for interrupt!

Please let me know if more information is needed. Thanks.
