Touchpad not responding after Suspend/Hibernate

[squee-g]

Hello,

I am semi-new to Linux (Ubuntu). I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my Gateway MX-6440, and it is working great so far. I do have one problem and that is when I put the laptop into either Suspend or Hibernate, after waking the touchpad no longer responds (works fine when laptop boots normally). The Synaptics Touchpad drivers are installed and configured. I have also put the following in the xorg.conf file in the Synaptics Touchpad section:

"SHMConfig" "on"


Has anybody else ran into this problem? Does anybody know how to fix this?


I checked the xorg.0.log and here is the output:

(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnabledDataReporting: succeeded
Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 18 nodes)
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event8
No such file or directory

(WW) Synaptics Touchpad: cannot open input device
couldn't enable device 4

The touchpad device number varies (sometimes it is event7, or event8). After coming out of Suspend/Hibernate, "xinput list" returns the following:

"Synaptics Touchpad" id=4 [XExtensionPointer]
Num_buttons is 12
Nux_axes is 2
Mode is Relative
Motion_Buffer is 256

Max_value is -1

Axis 1:

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 (desktop/gnome/normal). I'm using a Gateway MX6128. Touchpad works fine until coming back from suspend, then nothing.

I'm a fairly advanced user/programmer, but I'm new to Linux. I'd be happy to post any configs/logs/etc that might be helpful if you tell me how to get them.

Thanks.

Im having same problem running 9.10 on fs amilo si 1520. Suspends and wakes up beautifully except the touchpad just doesnt work when waking up.
Anyone posted bug reports or anything to get us going or have we missed something?

Cheers!

Hi, I had the same problem with my laptop Amilo PRO V3205. I solved it by downgrading my BIOS to version 1.10.
I think playing with your bios version might help
