I tried the solution here

sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps works to enable the touchpad during the current session.

However, the permanent solution (create file in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf) does not work.

  • I found a solution, instead of options psmouse proto=imps in the psmouse.conf file it should say: psmouse proto=imps. I'd rather prefer to put this as a comment in the original question, but I don't have enough privileges. – heracho Aug 31 '18 at 17:11

I got it working by creating the following /etc/rc.local file entry.

#!/bin/bash
rmmod psmouse&&modprobe psmouse

Don't forget to update permissions.

chmod 755 /etc/rc.local

This solution also retains the OS configured mouse settings such as natural and two finger scrolling.
