Hi!

A long standing problem where the mouse pointer comes "out-of-sync"
after a
suspend-to-ram is fixed with the psaux changes in 2.1.126-2.
This problem is only seen with Xi Graphics X-server not with XFree.
(However, XFree does not support acceleration on the Trident Cyber 9397
making it effectively useless ... I tried but ended up sacrificing
suspend-to-ram for the increased speed.)

The laptop models in question are TwinHead EX and XL
(http://www.twinhead.com).
Linux handles these laptops very well (but neither Xfree or Xi Graphics
does
a good job with the non TFT displays, CRT and TV).

The TwinHead XL has a battery life of up to 3 hours.
With working suspend-to-ram 3 hours is a long time, without it,
3 hours passes quickly ...

Great work (even if this may have been an unintentional fix :-)
