I've just tried this. Switched to virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f1), then 
suspend. Resume, then return to X (ctrl-alt-f7). My USB mouse and 
touchpad still worked! The strange thing was, after a few seconds 
(around 25 by my count), the USB mouse no longer worked, but my 
previously non-working-in-FC2 pointing stick and buttons suddenly 
worked! Pointing stick and touchpad and USB mouse used to work in FC1 
altogether without any problems. Now only USB mouse and touchpad works. 
So I was quite surprised that suddenly the pointing stick works.

Anyway, seems USB ports died on resume after that 25 seconds. As 
plugging mouse and other USB devices on the 2 ports no longer worked.
