Thinkpad X240 touchpad scroll problem when sleeping

I have a ThinkPad X240 (20AMS0LT00) and usually scrolling with the touchpad is done with a 2 finger gesture. However when putting the laptop in sleep mode (Fn + 4) and switching back on, the scrolling is now done with 3 fingers.
A reboot is necessary to reset the 2 finger gesture, it used to be possible to reset it by using

sudo modprobe -r psmouse

then

sudo modprobe psmouse

but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … es#Bumping

Issues on suspend wakeup are often up to firmware bugs, try updating your UEFI/motherboard firmware

> Often, the reason for posts remaining unanswered is due in large part to the sparse details in the original post itself, or, the obvious availability of solutions in the wiki, on the forum or on the web, and the community's unwillingness to point out the obvious.

None of which apply to my thread, it's been 15 days since I posted this I think a bump is reasonable. Thanks for the help nonetheless

You can't quote part of it  and omit the rest of it all

Posting a single word or useless message (bumping) to attract attention to your thread is not allowed. Do your own research, continue to troubleshoot, post the results, and be patient with the community. If people are reading your thread without answering or offering help, you may try supplying more details, or ask to be pointed in the right direction.

All of which applies to your bumping post. Try/research more and post more useful information of your own troubleshooting rather than a bump.
