Pointer jumpy on MPB (Leopard) after wake from sleep...
All,
My MacBook Pro's pointer is "jumpy" when the machine returns from sleep mode. Restarting the machine does clear out the issue. Has anyone else observed this behavior?
Once you reproduce the jumpy pointer can you open Terminal.app and run this command -
sudo dmesg <PRESS ENTER>
password: <ENTER YOUR PASSWORD>
and then copy the last 50 or so lines of output and paste it here?
Reason I ask is I had similar issue and I get a particular error when that happens - just want to verify if yours is the same case. If so we can open a problem report with Apple at

Did this problem start after upgrading to Leopard from Tiger or your machine had a clean (as in erase and install) Leopard install?
In my case I had "ServiceNotResponding" error like you. I had done an upgrade install of Leopard.
Yesterday I wiped it clean and re-installed Leopard from scratch - the NotResponding errors are not there and mouse works fine after sleep/wake cycles. So most likely in my case it was a bad upgrade.
I'm having this same issue on my 15" 2.2Ghz after having done the Upgrade install of Leopard. Very annoying! This never happens on my girlfriend's white MacBook which she did the upgrade installation on as well.
Seems to be related to the airport, as when I disable the airport, the pointer goes into hyperspeed mode, then freezing every now and then. enable the airport again, and it goes back to a choppy, jumpy, erratic mouse/trackpad. The finder also seems to be pre-occupied/slow, although there is no increase in cpu use. Force quitting and restarting the finder also does not resolve the issue (and takes quite a while).
I've also tried turning off every feature on the trackpad, and still have the same issue. Seems to occur after extended sleep (12 hours plus), or if put to sleep more than 3-4 times. I haven't been able to separate these two cases.
The only fix has been to reboot the laptop, although it also takes quite a while to shutdown. Logging out and back in wasn't enough to resolve the issue.
Things of note on the box, parallels, firefox, thunderbird, adium, office 2004, menumeters, using spaces.
Anyone found a resolution ? or able to narrow down the trigger or fault ?
Im having the exactly same issue with my mbp 15 inch. a sleep cycle will make the trackpad extremely erratic and a restart is the only option. extremely annoying, any clues?
same here. I did the upgrade Tiger -> Leopard. Since then my MBP doesn't always wake up from sleep-mode (blank screen) or I get the laggy mouse&expose animations... very frustrating.
This is my first Mac, I bought it because of it's famous reliability, I was sick of this other OS; now before I got aware of this problem I was doing some work on my MBP which I unfortunately did not save before closing the lid - now everything's lost, as the MBP did not resume after opening the lid again...
