On my MacBook 4.1 I experience this issue when I hibernate. As a workaround, I have created /etc/pm/sleep.d/50-macbook_touchpad_fix with the contents:
#!/bin/sh # touchpad is frozen after resuming from hibernating until appletouch is reloaded if [ "$1" = 'thaw' ]; then modprobe -r appletouch modprobe appletouch fi and made it executable. The script just unloads and reloads the "appletouch" module after resuming from hibernation. This should work if you are using pm-hibernate to hibernate which was being used by default for me. -- Synaptics touchpad ceases functioning after suspend and resume. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
