After I suspended the laptop my Synaptics clickpad stopped working. Tried rebooting, but that didn't help. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting. What to do?

Try to find out if Linux is still recognizing it, it should show up here:

#cat /proc/bus/input/devices | less

also try the below command, from anything graphical (It shows all Xorg's input devices)

#xinput -list

Nope, it's not recognized in any of the above.

Try to use an older kernel, and see, if it works.

Arch Linux
