touchpad stops generating mouse motion after a while (focal, lenovo yoga c930)

Interestingly, logging in and out again makes the trackpad work, no reboot needed.

I am totally guessing that it's the synaptics input package is the culprit. I don't see anything in the dmesg that would suggest the kernel is at fault.

I am also affected, touchpad stops registering motion now and then. Like every 5 seconds or so.
Worked like a charm before
