This is an issue I have been dealing with since about September/October 2021 and I have since compensated by just using an external mouse with my laptop but it is starting to really get to me.
If you solve this issue I will pay you $25 via Venmo, PayPal, or ETH or really any way that I can that is easy for you because this has been aggravating me for so long.
Symptoms:
- Trackpad only works after a full shutdown
- Not even just a reboot fixes it
- After the trackpad is working closing the screen will kill the trackpad
- Locking just the screen does not kill the mouse
- All other forms of moving the mouse work
- external mouse, keyboard pointer, and touchscreen all work
- The mouse works fine when booting into windows
- Mouse has the same behavior I am experiencing with every Linux distro I have tried

Do you run any power saving tools? / What's your desktop session? Does this problem happen in the live environment? Could be hardware failure. Also see these links:

> No
What's your desktop session?
> I am using KDE plasma, specifically "plasmashell 5.24.0"
Does this problem happen in the live environment?
> This depends on whether I reboot or shut down first when I get into the live environment. I've tested with ubuntu and other lives USBs and it has the same interaction as I am currently dealing with on arch where the trackpad only works when I interact directly from the shutdown.
Could be hardware failure.
> I don't think so, I've tried live booting from windows and it works fine. I also have GUI BIOS that uses the mouse and my mouse will work in it and then won't work once I fully boot.

Have you tried adding pci=nocrs to your kernel line?
Some Lenovo touchpads don't work without that at all , unless you blacklist the kernel module that's causing the malfunction.
Unix? You can't say that on a kids' show!
