I'm using debian from the pinebook pro installer. Its not like the firmware somehow is getting reverted, because if I modify the updater to purely enter boot mode and then do a reset (skipping the actual firmware flashing), the touchpad is suddenly usable and great again. As far as I can tell, nothing is different when Xorg detects the device the second time -- the logs indicate the same parameters with respect to acceleration, the only thing that changes is the ID (event11 instead of event7 in my case), probably because its rediscovered.
I'm tempted to just trigger this on my xsession.
That is very strange. What bad touchpad behavior are you seeing? Does it appear immediately on reboot? Does the reset permanently improve the behavior until another reboot?
The issue I occasionally experience which is fixed by a reset or reboot I suspect to be an issue inherent to the touchpad firmware. I have noticed that sometimes the touchpad will get itself in a "bad state" where it gets overly sensitive and constantly thinks there's touch events even when I'm not touching it.
