I recently installed ubuntu 18.0.4 on my new laptop and the touchpad stops responding after closing the lid.

The device name is SYNA7DB5:00 06CB:CD41 Touchpad The device driver is xserver-xorg-input-libinput-hwe-18.04/bionic-updates,now 0.28.1-1~18.04.1 amd64

I tried installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, but that prevented the touchpad from working altogether.

I also tried disabling and re-enabling the touchpad using xinput commands but that doesn't fix the issue either.

From /proc/bus/input/devices

Any Ideas?

I am having the same problem.(Acer HELIOS 300)

My device is same SYNA7DB5:00 06CB:CD41 Touchpad, after closing the lid, after a few minutes or suspend. Touchpad stops working. Restart solves it but again happens.

My input from /proc/bus/input/devices

I searched around and found this website, where the comment 22 having to command :

$ sudo rmmod i2c_hid
$ sudo modprobe i2c_hid

after running these commands the touchpad starts working again (temporarily). But after the next closing lid, the issue starts again

I want to make a comment, but my reputation is not enough (less than 50).

I have the same issue, and kernel is 5.3.0-18-generic.

Reloading i2c_hid works, so I use the method provided here: >How to run sudo .sh file after wakeup : Touchpad disabled after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10
