Maybe use hotplug of XInput correctly?

hi Ortwin. i read through the URL you sent me and googled around for
additional information, but i'm afraid i don't really understand what you
mean by "use hotplug of XInput correctly". would you mind being a bit more
specific please?
i tried the solution you proposed at
http://www.odi.ch/prog/macbookpro/index.php#7 by running this command:
echo 'SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", DRIVERS=="appletouch",
ATTRS{interface}=="Touchpad", SYMLINK+="input/appletouchpad"' \
>/etc/udev/rules.d/010-appletouch.rules
and then using this touchpad config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/appletouchpad"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
after rebooting, the touchpad worked, and this symlink existed:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-06-07 11:25 /dev/input/appletouchpad ->
event2
however the touchpad didn't survive a suspend-to-disk. after resuming,
/dev/input/appletouchpad had changed:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-06-07 11:25 /dev/input/appletouchpad ->
mouse1
and /var/log/Xorg.0.log contained said this:
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/appletouchpad
No such file or directory.
(WW) Synaptics Touchpad: cannot open input device
i checked /var/log/suspend2disk.log to make sure the appletouch module was
being loaded before usbhid, and it was:
========we are back from suspend, cleaning up.========
== restore_after_sleep: restart and reload everything ==
Resuming:
---------
Reloading modules:
appleir
appletouch
usbhid
ath_pci
....
so, i'm really not sure what to try next. any suggestions would be
appreciated. cheers,
Nick
