I also have a Dell Vostro V13 and am dealing with this issue. I have found a decent workaround for it though.
What you want to do is make a script that will execute on resume. Have a look at folder /etc/pm/sleep.d/ - all scripts within this folder are automatically run as root-user after/before suspend or hibernate. The script needs to fit this example: #!/bin/bash case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) ACTION BEFORE SUSPEND/HIBERNATE ;; thaw|resume) ACTION AFTER RESUME ;; *) ;; esac exit $? I had already made this script as ps.sh: #!/bin/bash rmmod psmouse modprobe psmouse So, I just tossed the two together and this is how it works: sudo touch /etc/pm/sleep.de/99-touchpad-restart.sh sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.de/99-touchpad-restart.sh sudo nano /etc/pm/sleep.de/99-touchpad-restart.sh #!/bin/bash case "$1" in thaw|resume) /home/darkwingduck/ps.sh>/dev/null ;; *) ;; esac exit $? Works like a charm. I know it's not a perm fix, but it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/810327 Title: [Fujitsu Amilo] Synaptics touchpad ceases functioning after suspend and resume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/810327/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
