Power saving - how to enable touchpad?

When Trisquel is in power saving mode my touchpad stops working. How can I configure settings to have touchpad always enabled?
I've managed to fix similar issue with mouse editing /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf, but I've no idea how to do that with touchpad.
Info: input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input9
I've Trisquel 6.0.1.
Does this give any output?
lsmod |grep psmouse
I.e. is the psmouse module loaded? If yes, try removing it to see if that disables the touchpad.
sudo rmmod psmouse
If yes, you can reload it with
sudo modprobe psmouse
You could try editing the suspend/hibernate scripts to remove the module before and reload if after suspend/hib.
I don't have psmouse and maybe it shouldn't be an option to install additional utility to control touchpad. I've investigated the issue a bit and I am able to turn on touchpad with:
xinput set-int-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" "Device Enabled" 8 1
But I've still not figured out how to have touchpad always enabled.
For the record, I've solved the problem tweaking with Jupiter app, it's a power management tool. Anyway, I guess I should install TLP instead, I hope it works with Asus EEE 1000HD which I use on a daily basis.
