No touchpad after Resume

Hi, I am running kernel 2.4.21-166, with SuSe 9.0 on a Compaq Presario 700 laptop. When I resume after a suspend (apm -s) I loose my Synaptics touchpad mouse, though a USB mouse still works. I have acpi=off and apm=on at boot. The apmd daemon loads at boot also. I really need my touchpad, as the other is not convenient. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff
