keyboard to wake from suspend

With Debian 11 I could do this in /etc/rc.local:

    echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/power/wakeup

... and it let a tap on the keyboard wake from suspend.  Doesn't work anymore with Debian 12.  I'm not sure if this is an xfce4 issue but I do recall that the above line was given to me either here or on the Debian forum.  Not to get greedy, but it would be nice if a mouse touch would wake up too.

Things must have moved around.

I'd look at /sys/class/usbmisc/hiddev0/power/

maybe?

Re: keyboard to wake from suspend

Yeah they have moved around.  Latest effort was this, but it doesn't work either:

echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/5-2/power/wakeup
echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/8-1/power/wakeup

I'll  try your path too.  My, they do like to hide things don't they?

Glorious success:

https://www.makeuseof.com/wake-your-lin … b-devices/

... they've just made it a wee bit harder, like they do:

echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/5-2/power/wakeup
echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/8-1/power/wakeup
echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb5/power/wakeup
echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb8/power/wakeup

... seems you now have to wake up the port *and* the device on the port.
