Linux mouse freezes after suspend

Today I finally decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu.
I fully install Ubuntu, but everytime my notebook goes in sleepmode and wakes up my mouse will not work anymore. When I do a reboot it works fine until I let it sleep (even if it's for 10sec).
So I tried switching to Mint, however even with Mint I had the same problem. I have been trying to fix it all day without success.
Notebook:
Asus laptop
On a similar forum post this was the fix:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-all
However this did not work for me.

This issue goes back at least a couple of years. It's a problem for a lot of Asus owners, but it's not entirely specific to Asus devices. Also, it's not Debian-specific â though in your case both Ubuntu and Mint have Debian roots.
It's a tricky one because it seems everyone's mileage varies with each proposed solution (and they all have slight hardware variances). There are countless threads trying to solve it.
Notable bug threads on Launchpad (depending on your Asus model):
- Elantech touchpad stops working after suspend
- FocalTech touchpad stops working after suspend
Applicable bug thread on Kernel.org:
- ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad dies after resume from suspend
Assuming you don't want to patch your kernel, there are a couple potential runtime solutions you can try.
(Note: You can open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T
)
Disable/Enable the Mouse Driver:
You can remove and then re-insert your mouse driver module with the following commands:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse
Disable/Enable via Xinput:
Find your trackpad ID with the following command:
xinput --list
Once you have your device IDâÂÂI'll call it 12
for this exampleâÂÂtry disabling and enabling the device with:
xinput --disable 12
xinput --enable 12
(Replace 12
with your trackpad's device ID)
Alternative:
As an aside, you may want to try hibernating instead of suspending. Supposedly the problems aren't as prevalent with hibernation.
Disable/Enable the Mouse Driver worked for me (sudo modprobe -r psmouse
/sudo modprobe psmouse
). Hint: I added this to my~/.gnomerc
so it is called every time I log in.

I call this script mouse-reset
. It removes and then modprobe
s a list of mouse-related modules:
#!/bin/bash
modules=(psmouse hid_multitouch elan_i2c)
for mod in "$modules[@]"; do
sudo rmmod "$mod" 2> /dev/null
sudo modprobe -v "$mod" 2> /dev/null
done
