ACPI Hack

Hello,

After a couple years of putting up with my laptop failing to suspend to ram, I have finally found a solution, which I found here:

http://www.linux.com/feature/54610

Everything works wonderfully, but when I resume, my touchpad (Synaptics) doesn't work (the pointer doesn't even show up). If I have a mouse plugged in, however, the mouse works just fine. Anyone got any pointers? Is there something I could tinker with in my xorg.conf file? I've attached it below.

Thanks!

I also should probably mention that restarting X does not solve the problem. Only a full reboot gets things back to normal, which I thought is a tad bizarre...

Anyone?

*UPDATE*

For any curious on-lookers, I've noticed that in my /dev/input directory, the files "event3" and "mouse2" disappear on resume, as well as a couple links to those files, which reside under the /dev/input/by-path directory. Attempting to copy and restore them results in them changing from character special files to binary, or "octet stream" files, so no dice there.

I'll update later if I find a solution.

Regards,
