Public bug reported: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.6.2-1ubuntu1~precise2: amd64, stops my Dell Studio XPS 1645 (Late 2009) to wake up from sleep.
The screen stays black, but the computer starts, I can wake the screen if I connect an external monitor. Of course I first thought the problem was the graphics driver. But I got the same problem in Windows 8.1 when I installed the latest Synaptics driver (which is not signed, perhaps for this reason?). And the problem disapeared when I uninstalled that driver. So I tried the same in my Linux Mint 13 installation, downgraded xserver-xorg-input-synaptics to 1.5.99.902-0ubuntu5, and the problem was history. I was not able to report it using ubuntu-bug since it is not an official LinuxMint package. So I'm not sure what to do. But I report it anyway, so everyone else with this problem can find my workaround.
