Comment 7 for bug 278585

I'm not sure where to attribute this. It depends on where the change in edge calculation is taking place. I don't think that a fresh install would have helped, especially if this is the same problem that James is having (if so, edges are calculated when X comes up?).

James: I'd be interested to see if this solution works for you too, perhaps the edge calculation is coming up differently when you have been suspended? Can you run synclient before and after and see if your edges are coming up differently?

Either way, I think the solution is to extend the System > Preferences > Mouse tool. There's nothing in there about calibrating where the edges of your touchpad are, but if we're having these troubles, then perhaps there should be. I'm sure there's a pattern to the min/max stuff that we're doing with synclient, so it wouldn't be too bad to extend the tool to have an edge calibration feature. Perhaps more; the current tool seems bare.
