[arch-general] Touchpad doesn't work since boot ocasionally

[Sergei Sinyak]

It stays: couldnt find synaptics properties

Looks like it disappears on a hardware layer, because when it's working
synclient reports list of properties.

P.S. was trying to reproduce problem, and happend in the the following way:
reboot, then systemctl stop gdm, reboot and that's it
