I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like X is thinking it has to drop the driver after a power state transition. I think the easiest way to get the mouse driver working again is to straight-up restart X. That's probably gonna be no fun for you, so make sure your files are all up to date and google to see if this is a known issue (no idea how many people run Fedora on mb airs, so it might not be). That's all I've got. Best bet is asking someone who's an expert on configuring X.
