LinuxQuestions.org - How to add USB mouse entry in /proc/acpi/wakeup?

Hello everybody,

I would like to ask a question about /proc/acpi/wakeup file.

OS: Fedora Core 17 X86_64 (both KDE and Gnome installed on the system).

My problem is, that whenever I suspend my laptop under Linux I cannot resume by pressing the USB mouse button connected to the LAPTOP (an external USB mouse connected to the LAPTOP). Whereas the same is possible within Windows 7 (the computer is dual boot: Fedora Core 17 / Windows 7)

After a bit googling I found the following link:

http://lists.linux-foundation.org/pi...er/015551.html

where apparently someone else had had the same problem and according to what I read in that page it had been suggested to edit /proc/acpi/wakeup in order to add the missing waking up device.

Here is the content of that file on my computer:

Code:

$ cat  /proc/acpi/wakeup

So as I understand (according to that page) I need to add something for UHC1 to that file (apparently this is how USB devices are called, please correct me if I'm wrong).

The problem, is that I don't know the exact device name of my USB mouse (UHC1, UHC2, ... ?) and the values that I'm supposed to provide for S-state, Sysfs and node.

Could somebody kindly make some clarification?

Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh
