Disable touchpad ACPI wake-up


Hey all,

My Chromebook C720p wakes up from suspend right away when I close the lid because the monitor touches the touchpad which triggers a wakeup. That's a problem which is also mentioned on the Arch wiki.

I can fix it for my current session with the following command:

Code:
# echo TPAD > /proc/acpi/wakeup
But of course that's not persistent over reboots. So my question is what's the canonical way to configure this on Slackware. I figure I could just add the command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. But is there a better way to do it?

Thanks,

Beni

For me, the task is a local customisation that you want to be run at boot and is appropriate to be added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Well, I should have guessed. It seems to me that in Slackware usually the most obvious way to do something is the right one
