Windows 7 X61 Tablet Pen does not work after Resume from Sleep

[cooltech786]

I've tried three builds on my X61 Tablet - 7000, 7057, and 7068. 7000 suffered from the usual explorer crashes, but 7057 and 7068 were significantly improved in that respect.

But with both builds 7057 and 7068, whenever I put my computer to sleep and then later wake it up, the digitizer/pen as well as the touchscreen both stop working and do not work again until after restarting the computer.

Anyone else have this issue?

It seems like you are facing an issue with the digitizer/pen and touchscreen on your X61 Tablet running builds 7057 and 7068 of Windows. The problem arises when you put your computer to sleep and upon waking it up, both the digitizer/pen and touchscreen stop working until you restart the computer.
This could be related to driver issues or power management settings. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this problem:
1. Update Drivers:
- Make sure that all drivers, especially those related to the digitizer/pen and touchscreen, are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website or use Windows Update to check for the latest driver updates.
2. Power Management Settings:
