Comment(by pgf):

 btw, i just spotted this, from comment #1:
 {{{
 S/R -- if we are resuming on TP activity the "first stroke" is missed.
 This is a regression. With 'our' driver the first stroke is usually
 registered (but acts more like a jump).
 }}}

 this may be a result of running the touchpad in a longer packet-size mode.
 from my earlier investigation, the synaptics pad can buffer 3 bytes.
 (ALPS just buffers 1.)  if the pad is sending 3 byte packets, you'll have
 one whole packet buffered coming out of suspend.  in 6-byte mode, you'd
 only buffer half a packet, which would cause more loss, and will likely
 cause a driver resync.
