I confirme the issue. I use Ubuntu 17.10 and at every reboot I lost the touchpad, sometimes in Windows (10) too… To avoid the problem the laptop isn’t powered down… Only sleeping… The only way I have found to restore touchpad is to boot with USB key with Ubuntu 17.10 (isorespined). This problem happens only when I boot on Ubuntu… I also suspect rEFInd… I’m not a specialist but it seems not possible to boot Ubuntu 17.10 with Grub (Apollo Lake problem)… If you find a solution plz post…
No, the frozen touchpad problem is not caused by rEFInd as I just hit the problem after booting the Antergos 17.09 live-USB which does not use rEFInd.
