Cursor not working in Ubuntu 16.04

Question

When I had Ubuntu 12.04 this command worked

sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps

Now that I have upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 this command doesn't work. I even tried various ways, but they didn't work.

What do you mean by "cursor is not working", exactly? What device(s) are involved here? — Zanna, Nov 08 '19 at 07:24
