Closing laptop lid freezes touchpad
Laptop touchpad freezes if lid is closed. I observed this in Kubuntu 16.04, 18.04 and 18.10 fresh installs. Suspend/Hibernate causes no such issues. After a bit of search, I found some similar cases with accepted answers as removing/restarting modules (Ex: rmmod psmouse; modprobe -r psmouse). This does not work in my case. After closing lid, external mouse still works.
Drivers - xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
PS: xserver-xorg-input-libinput also has this issue. This comes with the fresh install. I prefer using synaptics driver unless there is a strong reason against it as it provides lot of customization. Tried having both together but still no use.
Output of dmesg | grep -iE "synaptics|psmouse" before closing lid
[ 2.378635] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried max coordinates: x [..5656], y [..4712]

How to fix this or any workarounds?
