OK, the problem is that the touchpad needs a lot of time to wake up
after a reset command. As we found out in private conversation, 3
seconds is barely enough, so I suggest the following patch to fix the
problem:

--- linux/drivers/input/mouse.resume/psmouse-base.c	Sat Jul  5 23:39:14 2003
+++ linux/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c	Sun Jul  6 00:23:17 2003

 		if (psmouse_sendbyte(psmouse, command & 0xff))
