when i was using 2.6.18.7+mactel , suspended to disk and then resumed,
the touchpad no lnoger worked. however, i could revive the touchpad
with this command:
    sudo modprobe -r usbhid appletouch; \
        sleep 1; \
        sudo modprobe appletouch; \
        sudo modprobe usbhid

i'm now using 2.6.21+mactel and reviving the touchpad with the above
command no longer works.

i googled around for a solution and came across this on the Gentoo wiki:
    http://tinyurl.com/2to755
i gave it a try, but unfortunately it didn't work. after trying it, i
looked at X's log and noticed this:

SynapticsCtrl called.
Synaptics DeviceOff called
Synaptics DeviceOn called
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/appletouchpad
        No such file or directory.
(WW) Synaptics Touchpad: cannot open input device

so i have 2 questions for the mailing list:
1) does anyone know how to fix this problem?, or
2) does anyone have a different solution for getting the touchpad to
survive a suspend-to-disk on a MBP C2D?
