Deceivingly similar issue, and one that I also encountered, in Fedora here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/120258/macbook-touchpad- becomes-unresponsive/
And a fix here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-abb147f32e It would be nice to have this resolved as it pretty much renders Ubuntu unusable in affected Macbooks. The issue is reproducible on the 18.04 “LiveCD”. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764097 Title: 'Apple touchpad bcm5974' is temporarily unresponsive after a few seconds of continuous input in 'Apple MacBookPro5,4 (mid 2009)' after upgrading to 18.04 Beta 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1764097/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
