xf86-input-mtrack suspend fix
Raw
how-to.md

This is a workaround for the xf86-input-mtrack driver, which fails to load when you resume from suspend. Basically just adds a systemd service

The key is to reload the bcm5974 module on system resume.

Put touchpad_resume.sh into /opt/custom_scripts/touchpad_resume.sh. Make executable: chmod +x /opt/custom_scripts/touchpad_resume.sh.

Put reload-touchpad.service file in /etc/systemd/system/. Then enable it: systemctl enable reload-touchpad.service.
