You need to provide some diagnostic details. At a minimum xorg.conf and an 
Xorg.0.log showing the failure.

Please attach the files, rather than inline them.

add:
i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop

to your grub.conf kernel line

touchpad now works and also appears to have solved suspend/resume problem 
somehow

Scratch the solving suspend/resume claim, not the case, just more frustrating 
random success/failure with resuming from suspend.

Above kernel params addition does fix touchpad not working, however, so folks 
who use the touchpad (not me) will benefit
