It is not a general problem in Mint with suspend. I use both LM Isadora and LMDE and able to use my touchpad after either Sleep (Suspend to RAM) or Hibernate (Suspend to Disk). I have a Synaptics touchpad. If you do not know what yours is, you can check with

Code: Select all

xinput list
You can also check log files for error messages either using the Log File Viewer or terminal. Look in dmesg and pm-suspend.log if using
> Menu > Administration > Log File Viewer. The terminal commands to view the same would be

Code: Select all

dmesg
cat /var/log/pm-suspend.log
if you have a Synaptics Touchpad you can narrow the output you must look through by adding | grep "Syn\|Touc\|Pad\|pad" to the end of the terminal command. If you have a different model touchpad just modify accordingly. Remember the command line is case sensitive. Received different results using Pad and pad. You would likewise receive different results with alp or Alp if you have an Alps touchpad.
