Elan Touchpad randomly stops working in Ubuntu Budgie 17.10

[Josue Hernandez]

I'm running Ubuntu Budgie 17.10, 64-bit on a Lenovo ideapad 320. My laptop's Elan Touchpad randomly stops working whenever I'm using my laptop. There's no indication for when it happens, it just happens. If I hit the power button and make my computer enter sleep or restart the laptop (doesn't matter which) the touchpad starts working again. However, it will stop working again after a while. The touchpad does show up in my detected devices when it stops working, and hitting the enable/disable touchpad function key (F6) does nothing to remedy the situation.
