Hi Martin,

I think you misunderstand the problem. The driver does suspend/resume
properly. The issue is that some component in the lid is inducing
touchpad activity as it closes. This causes events to be sent to
userspace, which result in stray click and also confuse xf86-input-
synaptics. These happen *before* the kernel starts freezing tasks and
suspending devices.

To emphasize: the touchpad and driver themselves do work after S3. If
you restart X without reloading the driver everything works just fine.

As I understand it, the pm-utils workaround is really just a short-term
band-aid solution. The better solution that's been proposed is to
somehow tell xf86-input-synaptics to stop listening to the touchpad when
the lid is closed.
