I've just encountered this bug in an up-to-date hardy on my MacBook Pro.

I have tried a few things to try and fix it, but I haven't had any luck.

In my xorg.conf, I've switched it to use the event protocol with the specific device.

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
 Driver "synaptics"
 Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple_Computer_Apple_Internal_Keyboard_._Trackpad-event-mouse"
 Option "Protocol" "event"

It works great on first bootup, but after a resume, I get this in the Xorg.0.log:

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple_Computer_Apple_Internal_Keyboard_._Trackpad-event-mouse

Has anybody else found this problem? Maybe it's MacBook Pro specific? The resume ordering of kernel modules?
