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

psmouse->cmdcnt = receive;

if (command == PSMOUSE_CMD_RESET_BAT)
- timeout = 2000000; /* 2 sec */
+ timeout = 4000000; /* 4 sec */

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