I had the same issue with the touchpad going out on my Thinkpad, running Ubuntu. This would always happen after coming out hibernation so I wrote a systemd service[1] that runs a small shell script [2] after coming out of hibernation.

Thank you!.. I'll keep your gists in-mind if I ever come across this trackpad issue again. Thinking about it, since Fedora 30 or 29, I don't actually remember encountering this problem - I know where to come back to if I do though! Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing. I've been running the same modprobe commands, but manually using a bash alias. I'm going to use your systemd script going forward.
