For reasons unknown to me my touchpad has stopped working again.
If I reinstall “xf86-input-synaptics” it all works as normal, but this is getting annoying.
xinput list

↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
xinput set-prop ID "Device Enabled" 13
unable to find device ID
Touchpad on is ticked in Synaptics and Fn+F10 is not toggling the touchpad on and off like normal (unless I reinstall xf86-input-synaptics)
This has happened once before. If I install x11-input-mtrackwas the touchpad starts working, but its way too sensitive and feels like a workaround not a fix. It would be nice to have it working as before.
The touchpad is not working in any other desktop either. But I last time this happened it was working when I created another user. I haven’t had time to try this today.
Any ideas?
Thanks
