Touch pad random freezing on Ubuntu 13.04

So there’s this bug that randomly hits me. I’ve already updated to the latest fixes and releases but this still happens. So I guess the big boys are still onto it.

Meanwhile, I found a neat trick that could reset the touch pad without me having to reboot the entire system.

On the terminal:

sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse

Voila! And you’re back. Well, it still is an irritation that you’ll have to do this. Then again, it’s much better than a complete reboot.
