On my Ubuntu 10.10 with 2.6.35, the touchpad works even after suspend/resume, just that the settings from gpointing-device-settings are not remembered. For example, scrolling from the edge of the touchpad (the default, but previously disabled) works, but scrolling with two fingers (which I had enabled manually) doesn't. If I open gpointing- device-settings and re-check the checkboxes, everything is back again.
Also, I can confirm that you need the package that Paul Kolbovich mentioned to get multitouch to work: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input- synaptics/+bug/308191/comments/116 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380126 Title: [Karmic] Touchpad not recognised correctly, synaptics driver not in use _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
