pm-suspend messes up synaptics

I just got pm-suspend working on my macbook, and was rather anoyed at synaptics.
It worked just fine before I suspended, but afterwards, every option that you can
set in synclient that was set in xorg.conf didn't seem to be set.

I tried 'synclient -m 100' and it printed out the first line of NULL values
and stopped, even though I was moving the trackpad.  Using synclient
to set any of the options doesn't work.  It just does nothing.

Any ideas?

Is my question that hard?

Re: pm-suspend messes up synaptics

Just reload the kernel module (probably psmouse) during the suspend cycle. Any userspace helper for suspension has an option to do that (that is to unload/reload modules which got confused in the suspension).

You can verify if this solution is the right one unloading and reloading it manually ('modprobe -r psmouse && modprobe psmouse') ater resuming.
