Comment 25 for bug 1275416

The fix may be a little more complicated.
I had to add an 'apmd' script.
(1.) Blacklist usbtouchscreen in the file: "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"
       ie. add an entry to the end of the file "blacklist usbtouchscreen"
       ie. "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"

(2.) Create a file in /etc/apm/scripts.d called "touchscreen" and put the following contents in it.

#!/bin/sh
#
# apmd proxy script for ALSA

[ -x /usr/sbin/alsactl ] || exit 0

case "$1,$2" in
 suspend,*) /usr/sbin/alsactl store && /sbin/alsa suspend ;;
 resume,suspend) /sbin/alsa resume && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore ;;
esac

########

(3.) Then save it and type "sudo chmod 755 /etc/apm/scripts.d/touchscreen"

(4.) Then type "cd /etc/apm/resume.d"

(5.) Then from that path type, "sudo ln -s ../scripts.d/touchscreen ./20touchscreen"

(6.) Shut your lid and re-open it and see if the touchscreen starts working...
