power saving error
 

If my laptop is dormant for a little while it shuts down (obviously power
saving) but when I press a key
to fire it up again the mouse pad moves the arrow pointer but I am unable to
click or double click with it. I can only
click with the mouse pad buttons. If I restart the laptop, everything is
fine.

Any ideas ?? can be very annoying.

Your touch pad drivers don't seem to be restarting correctly from
suspend mode.
You could use the power settings to disable hibernation or to change
the timeouts. I always set a laptop to always on when connected to AC
power.
Also, you should press the power button to bring it out of
hibernation.
You may also want to check with Dell support. Just brush up on your
Hindi-English before you call :-)
