Title:
  synaptic driver hinders wake from sleep

Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  New

Bug description:
  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
