For a year or more I've used the fspc program
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsp-lnxdrv/) to run a startup script
that would reset my Sentelic FSP (to disable the tap-to-click and "hot
spots" for horizontal/vertical scrolling, because they just drove me
nuts, as there's no disable-while-typing setting). I wasted hours trying
to get a resume hook to do the same thing, but it did nothing--something
to do with attaching the the display or X session or whatever. Most of
the solutions seemed to suggest simple echo commands to device files,
but they always failed for me. It turns out that most of the examples
referenced files under /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0 (or serio1),
and I've *finally* taken the time to look more closely and discovered
that my FSP device directory is serio4 (for my System76 Serval Pro v 7).

So, I'm happy to say that I was finally able to hack together a bash script 
that I use at boot and resume/thaw to keep my Sentelic FSP configuration as I 
choose:
https://github.com/jamiekrug/bash-goodies/blob/master/sentelic-fsp-config.sh

Just read the comments at the head of the script, and you can also
execute the script with a -u option to output usage instructions.

This still feels like quite a hack, but it's a quick and functional way
to disable things and keep it that way (after suspend/resume, as well).
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to open a
separate bug or do my best to review existing code for a better
solution.

Also, @Oskari: very excited to hear of your absolute positioning work
and multitouch support. Is there any chance you can do something about
providing disable-while-typing support? That would be fabulous! I like
the tap-to-click, but I activate it accidentally all the time while
typing on the keyboard.
