I'm pretty sure the touchpad is not the problem the problem that prevents your system from entering suspend. Yes, there is a problem with the touchpad but that is not very important. (see below for details) My system is a NX7400 and both suspend to disk and suspend to ram work now. I have a page describing what is required to make it work. http://r2d2.stefanm.com/nx7400.html
Some help for your problem:

Suspend 2 disk:
(I get best results with software suspend 2. So I'm only describing this.)
Yes, you need a partition where ssusp2 can store data. However this is your normal swap partition (I hope you have one). Just append the parameter resume2=swap:/dev/hdaX (or sdaX) to your /boot/grub/menu.conf

Suspend 2 ram:
I've had bad experiences calling s2ram directly on HP machines. You better use "hibernate -F /etc/hibernate/ram.conf". If your display stays black after resume use the brightnesskeys to activate it again.

If you like you can also mail me if you like (the address is on the page mentioned above).

P.S.: The touchpad problem is that the touchpad seems to take some seconds after resume. Theoretically this wouldn't matter, but the Xserver tries to reinitalise it, fails, trys to initialize it as a ps2mouse (now the touchpad is ready), suceeds. Now the touchpad's scroll function is gone. I'm currently looking into this problem and found your page that way.
