[SOLVED] wake from suspend by touchpad?

mshlinux · 01-30-2017, 09:51 AM

In Gentoo + KDE, suspend works but I have to push power button to wake up from it. I want to wake up by moving pointer via touchpad. I googled but am confused.
I think I have to use udev rules. These are my outputs:

Code:

msh@localhost ~ $ udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/input/event10
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/sound/card0/input11/event10
N: input/event10
E: DEVNAME=/dev/input/event10
E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/sound/card0/input11/event10

msh@localhost ~ $ xinput list

i think when you suspend your system is partially powered down. that might include the touchpad.
there probably is no easy way around that.

maybe you just want screen blanking, or even screen off + hard drive off? that should be configurable e.g. through power management gui.

arrhh! thanks.
may be it is machine specific setting.
I have two laptops running same distros with same configuration, One is Acer and another is Dell.
On Acer, I can wake up from suspend by hitting enter on keyboard but not touchpad.
on Dell, I have to use power button only. Both of touchpad and keyboard are not working to wake up from suspend.
