Question for my #Linux peeps:

My #ThinkPad A475 has the touchpad/touchpoint device on the PS/2 bus, and whenever the battery dies, my touchpad is no longer recognized in Linux - ANY Linux.

How do I wake up the PS/2 bus in Linux and get my touchpad back?

The only remedy thus far has been to boot to a Windows install ISO.

@RockyC have you looked at any sort of other driver options. I can't speak to the specifics here but I had some trouble with some wireless headphones and tried a different FOSS driver instead of the manufacturer one and it helped
