Hi Raja, You don't actually need to click or tap the touchpad. Just use it like you would do in normal use. After a random amount of time (30 sec to 3 hours or more), it WILL hang, i can assure you. Freeze will happen while you move your finger on the touchpad. This is hard to reproduce in a lab because the amount of time is random, and it can take a very long time. But it will. That's why only people who actually use nvidia-prime on a daily basis see this bug. The only known way to reproduce this bug : 1) don't try to make it happen 2) use your computer's touchpad in normal conditions : working on something else, web browsing... 3) it will hang.

Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad. This does not happen with my USB mouse. This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000). I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch. In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
