Possible workaround is to unload and reload the module on resume. In
Ubuntu create the following new file named e.g. "90-psmouse-reload" in
"/etc/pm/sleep.d/" with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
    thaw|resume)
        rmmod psmouse; modprobe psmouse
    ;;
esac
exit 0

However I still consider this Dell contributed driver being the first
step. I consider features like horizontal scrolling and sensitivity
settings essential. IMO the touchpad by default is hypersensitive and it
happens very often than one accidentally invokes a double-click action.
While clicking the mouse button (right above the touchpad surface)  the
thumb accidentally touches the touchpad surface. The resulting action is
two subsequent clicks, first one wanted, second one unwanted.
