    mouse touchpad frozen on live stick with persistence - Lenovo Thinkpad - Synaptics

    hi everyone, I'm new here, pls. be tolerant if not perfectly adapted,

    since some releases I experience that Lenovo P70 touchpad, pointer stick, and external usb mouse:
    DO work with 'live stick', but
    DO NOT work once using 'persistence' or 'encrypted persistence',
    I searched and found plenty of similar reports about installed versions having trouble after
    upgrade, but couldn't test the hints there ( modprobe -r psmouse, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics )
    because I couldn't manage to open a terminal - even any program - without working pointer.
    Anybody a hint to solve without building individual images.
    AFAIK the input devices are some flavour of synaptics.
    TIA for any help.

    3 weeks and no solution? :-(
    found some sort of workaround there:
    https://ways2hack.com/mouse-not-work...-linux-ubuntu/ there:

    seems to be stable in persistence,
    on new installs care to fire this first. else if you configure anything
    for mouse / touchpad you may get stuck without after restart,
    and have difficulties to reach a terminal ... sometimes external mouse may
    help if plugged in before! boot.
    Would be nice if the ISO can be adapted / repaired,
    ver. prior 2021-4 didn't have this issue.
