[Bug 1396684] [NEW] synaptic driver hinders wake from sleep

 

Public bug reported:

xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.6.2-1ubuntu1~precise2: amd64, stops my
Dell Studio XPS 1645 (Late 2009) to wake up from sleep.

The screen stays black, but the computer starts, I can wake the screen
if I connect an external monitor. Of course I first thought the problem
was the graphics driver. But I got the same problem in Windows 8.1 when
I installed the latest Synaptics driver (which is not signed, perhaps
for this  reason?).

And the problem disapeared when I uninstalled that driver.

So I tried the same in my Linux Mint 13 installation, downgraded
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics to 1.5.99.902-0ubuntu5, and the problem was
history.

I was not able to report it using ubuntu-bug since it is not an official
LinuxMint package. So I'm not sure what to do. But I report it anyway,
so everyone else with this problem can find my workaround.

Description:	Linux Mint 13 Maya (Ubuntu 12.04)
Release:	13
