Linux Mint Maya Trackpad trouble

I just got a new thinkpad T430 that has a synaptics trackpad.   Strangely the trackpad would not work correctly once the laptop goes to sleep and wakes up. The little red knob IBM thingy would work fine but the trackpad and the associated buttons were not working fine.    Found a nice workaround for it that I thought I will share.

The idea was to disable and enable the psmouse driver so that it would reset itself.  Here is the script to do the same.  It should be placed in /etc/pm/sleep.d and marked as executable

vivekv@Vivek-Laptop /etc/pm/sleep.d $ cat 71input-reset 
#!/bin/sh
#
# Reload the AT keyboard interface.

case "$1" in
        hibernate|suspend)
                rmmod psmouse
                ;;
        thaw|resume)
                modprobe psmouse
                ;;
        *)
                ;;
esac
