[ltp] Losing trackpoint after suspend

[Richard Neill]

When it gets into trouble, open a terminal, and (as root), successively
  cat /dev/input/mouse*   while moving the tpoint. Ctrl-C to stop.
Do you get a random string of gobbledegook?

If you really don't want the trackpad, use custom symlinks in xorg.conf, 
and a udev rule. See here for how I did it:

Best wishes,
