Touch-pad "click" not working after waking-up from

Question

Hi,
I hope the subject is kind of a give away. Basically, I've finally gotten around to sorting out ACPI for my Dell 9600 laptop. I've configured, via KLaptop, for the machine to go into Standby when I close the lid. This works ok except that when I resume, my touchpad isn't as fully functional as before. In particular, I can't "click" with the pad by tapping on it, as is the normal way I use it.
I can't imagine why this suddently stops working. Does anyone have any clues? Below is the relevant section of my acpid log, if it helps.
Cheers

I think you have to toggle the synaptics driver... if you check the output from X you should have like "Synapitics Device On/Off" if you switch to a console... I'm not sure how to control it, but I have a feeling that shut off and never restarted
