Not sure that I agree with assigning this bug as belonging to xserver- xorg-input-synaptics. The fact that the touchpad no longer shows up in /dev/input/ would suggest to me that the problem is lower level than the X server.
I'm no expert on the matter, however, so I could certainly be wrong. :-) -- Synaptics touchpad ceases functioning after suspend and resume. https://launchpad.net/bugs/59867 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
