Hello,
Back with some results :-)

Attached is a (bzip-compressed) log [1] of a 2.6.30 kernel started with
i8042.debug (nothing else important).

The log contains 4 suspend-resumes (look for "Back to C"):
* from the console, using "echo mem > /sys/power/state", keyboard fine
* from the console, using "pm-suspend" (aka "all the nasty stuff done by
the distro"), keyboard fine
* from X, using "echo mem > /sys/power/state", keyboard gone
* a unbind-bind cycle, keyboard back
* from X, using "echo mem > /sys/power/state", keyboard fine


What I realised during this experiment, is that the keyboard goes away
after the first suspend-resume _in X_. Each time, I typed on the
keyboard "qwerty" (and almost nothing else).

Do you see what goes wrong in resuming the keyboard?

I can provide a similar log for a 2.6.32-rc3 kernel, if you are
interested? BTW, once the keyboard is gone, a rmmod-modprobe cycle of
psmouse doesn't recover it, it has to be a rmmod-modprobe cycle of atkbd.

See you,
Eric
