restart trackpad without reboot?
#1
My trackpad mostly works pretty well, but occasionally gets into a weird state---the cursor moves randomly when I lift my finger off the pad, and taps are registered at random (even with no hands on the computer) or (more recently) no taps are registered at all. No useful information from journalctl or dmesg.

But: a reboot resolves the issue.

So I'm wondering if there's some way to powercycle the trackpad, or to reload the drivers, or anything that might help with the issue above, without a complete reboot.

Ideas?

This is on Manjaro, release 20.05
